Opened my eyes to how I view myself and the people around me. Validated so many things for me.

Definitely made me realize how often disability gets overlooked in public spaces. 

Gave me hope that a care-centered community is possible.

Although a lot of the material talked about is sad (check TW), overall I felt the tone of the book was extremely hopeful, and I found the intimate look at care-centered communities beautiful and spiritual.

This book, in no uncertain terms, changed my perspective on my life. It was beautiful, emotional and expansive. The essays touched on so many elements of my lived experience and gave me language and pride and compassion for them in ways I've struggled to have before.

I think it would be vaulable for anyone, but it would especially be valuable for folks who are disabled (or neurodivergent, Mad, crippled, whatever language you may use personally), queer and/or a trauma survivor.
