Heart Berries: A Memoir by Terese Marie Mailhot

5.0

---

I was blown away by this book. Mailhot manages to write about trauma and mental illness in a way that is not traumatizing/depressing, nor treacly-hopeful about what she's overcome. She uses non-linearity and draws on her First Nations background to create a unique voice, and this book stands out from the hundreds of memoirs being thrown at readers.
