Goodness gracious, this book is so beautiful. I just finished it and think I may pick it up and read it again right away. Like a poem, rhythm, word choice and simplicity build effortless images and character sketches. It broadened my understanding of my American History and heritage. I loved every moment, even the frequent painful ones.
Moderate: Rape
Minor: Pregnancy, Violence, Injury/Injury detail, Miscarriage, Hate crime, Suicide, Infertility, Grief, Xenophobia, Infidelity, Toxic relationship, Abandonment, Rape, Death, Child death, War, and Sexual assault
Most are very brief as the book is a series of vignettes.
