Heavy: An American Memoir by Kiese Laymon
5.0

Audiobook - Heavy: An American Memoir by Kiese Laymon chronicles the author’s struggle with love, loss, trauma, addiction, societal stereotypes, familial obligations and expectations and the heavy impact felt, not just mentally but also physically, trying to live up to, and in some cases overcome these influences. Heartbreakingly beautiful and powerfully written, I highly recommend trying the audiobook out for this one. Laymon’s voice pulls you in, and you’ll be hard pressed not to feel a connection.
