I don't really want to give this book a star review. It felt like a violation reading this...when I started this book I did not realize it was compiled of retyped private therapy sessions about their daughter. I had the ick the whole time, but about halfway through I decided to just finish out of respect to Joan, John, Quintana, and their pain. I understand that these sessions are in her public archive, I just don't approve.

The challenge of parenthood is no joke. Through Joan's notes we learn of her struggles with her adopted daughter.

Unsure why we needed this traditionally published but as a Didion reader im fine with it. I still have so many questions about the context and whether or not it’s appropriate to publish these notes (for Quintana’s sake)

her words, her love, her experience of motherhood. nothing is easy, but everything shines hope. even if hard to see.
