This is a beautiful memoir filled with so much emotion, yet so much hope. The author discusses a lot of issues including; racism, sexism, misogyny, white supremacy, fragile/toxic masculinity, bigotry, sexual assault, domestic violence, and bureaucratic/administrative setbacks and inefficiencies. Not only does Harper have a gift for medicine and healing, but also writing. I felt the book had a nice flow and pace.
I would truly love to read more from her in the future, and I hope she does continue writing.
As this is a memoir, I am not giving it a star rating. I do highly recommend for people to read this.
