You Could Make This Place Beautiful by Maggie Smith

dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

this memoir had me in a chokehold. it’s heart-wrenching and beautiful and poetic and challenging and wise. it’s so honest, Maggie Smith providing intimate insight that we desperately need so that we can feel seen and understood through her words. if you’re a woman, a mother, a partner, an ex-partner, a daughter, a caregiver, a person who has ever grieved lost love, a person who has had their life plan altered, a person who has been betrayed - you might find beauty here
