This book was beautiful. Powerful reflections on what it means to be human and who or what decides worth. Also includes reflections on family, and the need for connection, companionship, belonging and acceptance. I have already suggested it to my neighbors, my spouse, my coworkers, everyone! And I will definitely read it again.
