The Unwinding of the Miracle: A Memoir of Life, Death, and Everything That Comes After
by Julie Yip-Williams
ulie Yip-Williams captivated my heart in The Unwinding of the Miracle.
If you haven’t heard of this one, it is the memoir of her beautiful life — from immigrating to the US from Vietnam (after narrowly escaping euthanasia at the hands of her grandmother because she was born blind) to her stage 4 cancer diagnosis at 37 and the years that followed.
I will never, ever tire of talented writers sharing their wisdom and raw feelings when confronted with tragedy. My favorite part was that she lays it all out there: the unpleasant symptoms and side effects, her bouts of rage, and her honest feelings about her husband re-marrying.
I felt like her cheerleader and her friend as she wrestled with life and death and parenting and love.
In short, I highly, highly recommend. I also highly, highly recommend that if you wear mascara, you make it waterproof when reading this one.
