Vestiges of Courage: Collected Essays by Mireya S. Vela

5.0

A beautiful book, essential for anyone who grew up in abusive places. I respect it as a story of survival, told with great skill and great courage. Ms. Vela's stories and essays deal with systems of abuse that, in families, in neighborhoods, in nations are all too common, which she has faced with a valor that is uncommon. A powerful and skillful book I recommend strongly.
