Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube: Chasing Fear and Finding Home in the Great White North by Blair Braverman

4.0

As noted by others, I went in expecting a dogsledding book, like say, Gary Paulsen's Winterdance. What I found instead was an at time harrowing story of a young woman's stress, and possible PTSD due to abuse and how pervasive that can be. It gave me (a man) an understanding of the harms of the male gaze in a way that helped me understand how that makes one feel, where previously I had just understood it in an intellectual manner. It is also a story of some pretty remarkable life experiences. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I wasn't disappointed.
