Dr. Michele Harper memoir was so touching and interesting. Her storytelling is unlike any memoirs I have ever read. I often forgot that this was a true story. We need more Dr. Harper's in medicine.

I read this for my university’s virtual book club because I am trying to branch out in the types of books that I read. I typically don’t read nonfiction or memoirs, but after loving Becoming earlier this year I thought I might like another autobiography… but this one did not do it for me. I enjoyed some of the stories, but the book overall felt very preachy and holier-than-thou.
