Any Ordinary Day: What Happens After the Worst Day of Your Life? by Leigh Sales
5.0
A compelling and thought-provoking read Leigh Sales delves into the extraordinarily complex and often mishandled subject of trauma, a topic often shied away from for reasons ranging from embarrassment to fear.
I admire Sales candor about her own part in the fumbling of sensitive topics in her career, the moral quandaries she faces as a journalist, and even her own personal experience of trauma. Her beautifully empathetic writing really shines through this dark subject matter.
Sales speaks to survivors of terrorism and gun violence to illness and freak accidents, and a poignant thread begins to weave these stories together; the perseverance to continue to live and more importantly to love. In a world where so much is uncertain this book is a testament to incredible endurance of the human spirit.
