zombiezami's review against another edition

challenging dark informative sad tense slow-paced

4.5

A very heavy book, but a very foundational one. This helped me understand certain people in my life better. I just wish that there had been greater understanding/reference to the racial and ethnic dimensions of trauma, especially related to war and to sexual violence. The only real mention of this that I saw was a passing mention in the Afterword. Still, this makes me interested to continue learning about this subject.
