Ironic that a book titled Don’t Cry For Me made me sob, but it really did. This book hurt to read. As a queer person  with an estranged father, I saw myself in Isaac, and often wondered how he would react to the letters. I found myself wanting to feel for Jacob and hoping my own father would do this. I definitely think I’ll remember this book for the rest of my life. Thank you, Daniel Black.
