emotional medium-paced

2.0

Several friends had read it and connected with it. I did not. I don’t mind religion being a central theme of a book, especially a memoir, but a good chunk of it was more evangelism and less self-reflection. It was annoying. It felt like she was using the book as a way to get converts. It wasn’t until far into the book that there was any compelling content for me (will leave out why so as to avoid spoilers).

I did enjoy her references to places in and around Houston since I’ve got lots of emotional ties and memories in them all, but I was surprised she left out any references to Harvey because it was such a big moment in recent Houston history. Even if she wasn’t personally affected, everyone in Houston knows at least one person who was, and it was a big deal to all of us. It’s like writing a book about the early 2000s in NYC and leaving out 9/11. 

She’s gone through some tough stuff. I hope the rest of her life is a little easier.

The author is such an excellent storyteller,  gifted with words, so you can feel everything with her without it being graphic. So much truth, tragedy, trauma, raw, honesty, faith & hope.
