I really had no idea what to expect when I backed this, and I found it to be a beautiful, heartfelt story. Not of a “bygone San Francisco,” as others have said — the troubles catalogued in this memoir are still very much present, from the city that can’t help its unhoused or its drug-addicted, to the city officials blinded by greed, to a public health system that can’t manage a raging disease — rather, what brightened this memoir for me was the idea that individual actions make a difference. That our communities hold us up. And that support comes from many directions.
