One of the best memoirs or biographies I've read. This story had excellent pacing. The subject matter is painful yet beautiful and the author never lingered too long on either side of the spectrum, making the events palatable and giving me room to reflect. This nonfiction is so well-written, it felt almost like fiction, but knowing it was a true story made it resonate deeply. Poignant and tastefully done.
