Dirty River: A Queer Femme of Color Dreaming Her Way Home by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha

adventurous challenging emotional funny hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

 "It all falls apart, and then it is a miracle. We don't understand it. We make the same mistakes over and over again."

A vulnerable story of abuse and fighting to carve out a path forward for oneself. Leah navigates queerness, mixed race identity, disability, poverty, immigration, complicated family history, and imperfect community to ultimately create a life full of love and possibility.
