This book is a study of extremes, extreme success and extreme trauma.  It drags you down while showing you how much love we sometimes miss due to our own suffering.

Heartbreaking. Comforting. One of the most beautifully written books I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. Made me call my therapist - not because I was upset, but because it made me realize I am worth taking care of.
