It is a story to be read cautiously to thoroughly understand through humility and empathy is how we can help each other overcome trauma.

This book was so vulnerable and illuminating to read. The author brings nuance and complexity to topics such as identity, overcoming abuse, and pursuing the "american dream". I was really impressed with how deeply she was able to write about her experiences. It made me feel like I was not only walking in her shoes but sitting in her experiences. I'm super excited to now read her first book, Molt. Highly recommend this one!
-Lyn Patterson, Author of Whisperings of The Wild and Wilting
