The overall takeaway from the book was positive, however the road to get to that conclusion was riddled with layers of traumatic events. Some moments were incredibly hard for me to read through. Had I known how explicit some descriptions would be I wouldn’t have chosen to read this book, as I am a highly sensitive person.

This book is deceptively good. It tells the story of pain, loss and redemption across generations with humor and grace.
