laura_sackton's review against another edition
I really appreciated this book. It's about continuing. It's about showing up after you mess up. I can see how it won't be for everyone, but I dug the way Kern wrote a flawed protagonist who never becomes a hero at all, who just keeps going.

For someone who is trying to deprogram herself, this book was inspiring and needed. Perfect for cis white women who want to do better.
I don't reread books often, but this one I will.
