Places I've Taken My Body: Essays by Molly McCully Brown

4.0
The personal essays in here touched on grief, loss, the complexity of faith, disability and so many other topics. Some essays really stood out to me such as 'The Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded', 'Fragments, Never Sent' and 'The Cost of Certainty'. I was deeply moved by the moments where she talked about her twin sister who died right after they were born. I think the ending of 'Fragments, Never Sent' was so moving.
Moderate: Ableism and Medical content
Minor: Child death and Religious bigotry
