Mending Life: A Handbook for Repairing Clothes and Hearts by Nina Montenegro, Sonya Montenegro
5.0
Beautiful. And informative.
I bought it because of the amazing cover and the striking title. It delivers technically, thoughtfully, and emotionally.
"Just as we choose not to give up on an old busted pair of jeans, we choose to heal a friendship, we choose to let go of an old grudge we've been carrying around, and we choose to acknowledge feelings that have been hurt.
The most vulnerable members of our society–the houseless, mentally ill, incarcerated–are cast out and disposed of. Can we learn to say, 'I won't give up on you' and truly practice it?"
