I don't have the words yet, but this book deeply moved me amidst my own grief, and I highly recommend it.

This is such a beautifully heartbreaking story about grief, forgiveness, tradition/culture, generational trauma & ultimately love. I think anyone with complicated familial relationships would really gain something for reading this book.
