Jordan is a true force. I LOVE the format of this book. This is beautiful. You must sit with what you are reading. You must examine the relationship between you and this author and the author's relatives and his history. Such a great piece of media.
What a powerful book.
I am so sad that many people have been insensitive and obnoxious to Jordan and most likely other BIPOC.
Jordan, I don't know if you will ever see my review, but you give me hope.
I will carry the last lines with me...I will be okay with who I am.

bookdragonhoard's review against another edition
5.0
A memoir that reads more like items found in an archival box. I really liked this unconventional format and am eager to see the finished copy (I read and advance version) in it's full glory. The transcription narratives and poetry convey the complicated emotions of the author in a unique way. More than storytelling, this book gives the reader more than just words to ponder. And you will ponder. There is a lot to chew on in this piece. Jordan Abel has bravely taken us with him through his journey of identity, history, belonging of place. The impact of this work stays with you.
