How the Light Gets In

I appreciated the book's theme of moving from sorrow and self-loathing to acceptance about less than ideal family dynamics, but I wasn't thrilled about Maynard's decision to use a Sainted Disabled Person as the primary vehicle for the message. And while I agree with her politics, I found their inclusion in the book to be heavy-handed and off-putting. Maybe my distaste is a timing issue; it's less than three weeks before the end of the 2024 US presidential campaign, and I can't handle leisure reading that includes references to the 2016 election, Brett Kavanaugh, and January 6, 2021.
