samarakroeger's review against another edition
3.0
Dr. Harper tries to interweave her traumatic upbringing with vignettes about her ER patients but spends too much time lecturing on the beauty of yoga and not enough on meaningful self-reflection. I thought she was leaning too heavily on the inevitable emotions of the ER (like dead babies) to carry the heft of the memoir. It didn’t really work.
There’s still plenty of interesting material to engage in, though, so I’m not mad about finally reading it.
