This is a book I will be revisiting for the rest of my life.  It's beautiful and inspiring, I'm not a motherhood person nor l but even I can get on board with her metaphor.  I absolutely loved this.  The content is broken up in a way to allow you to pieces the information slowly, which is great since some of it is really heavy and emotional and you need that time to breathe.  I am inspired and able to accept that there is a lot I'm heading from as I continue working to fight for racial and social justice.  That I don't have to be everything,  but simply use the gifts I have to move forward.  I needed this book.  And I like many people need it too.

She talks as a survivor and someone who works with survivors to move in and through their grief. This is a very honest and difficult book but 100% worth it.

Absolutely heart wrenching. Touched on so many topics but they were woven together so intricately.
