Powerful. Emotional. Evocative. Some stories had me laughing, some crying. Exquisite story telling.

I think this is an important, powerful book that should be on everyone's reading list. Poetry and prose, fiction non-fiction. This is a special book about a big topic that is handled so personally and so poetically.

While reading this book, I was, in just about every way therapy-lady. I'm an outsider looking in, and it is impossible for me to completely understand these stories. But, these stories are gorgeous and heartbreaking, and I think they've brought me closer to understanding than anything ever has before.
