This was gut punch, after gut punch, after gut punch. I feel like I’ve been shattered into a million little pieces and I will never recover from this. I don’t think I’ve ever been possessed with so much anger while reading a book. I loved this so much.

This book has won many awards for a reasons! Poetic and lyrical reflections filled with love, heartbreak, toxic relationships, darkness and the harsh realities of Teresa’s life as a Salish woman. I’ve never read a memoir quite like this one, that is written almost in prose, using beautiful language to portray such dark themes. This book might only be about 130 pages, but her story was so dense, that each sentence made me stop and reflect.

I really struggled to read this book. Especially in the beginning. There’s a lot of pain, and quite a few trigger warnings that I wish I had checked or seen before starting. Is the writing beautiful, yes, but I mostly felt sad consuming it. Maybe this just wasn’t the right time for me to pick this book up. Content warnings for suicidal thoughts, child abuse, physical abuse, alcoholism, emotional abuse, relationship abuse, rape, sexual assault.
