Moving. Emotional. Resonant. As someone with several chronic illnesses, this book was especially poignant and salient for me.
None of the usual trappings of inspiration porn, healing through Jesus, or spiritual woowoo that many memoirs about illness and near-death experiences fall into. It’s thoughtful, but not preachy. Meaningful, but not maudlin. I’ll definitely revisit it in the future.
