Heavy: An American Memoir by Kiese Laymon

4.0

[2018] In this beautifully written memoir, Laymon expresses what it is to carry weight - physical, yes, but also the weight of lies and secrets, abuse, racial injustice, addiction, and more. Heartbreaking and infuriating to read but written with a grace and understanding that leaves us hopeful.
