Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot
4.0

"You think weakness is a problem. I want to be torn apart by everything.”

An emotion-driven memoir that is incredibly beautiful and poetic. Mailhot writes her story about abuse, addiction, mental illness, and survival as a Native American woman in such a way that it is tough to read, and yet, I found myself unable to put it down. Her writing is often disjointed but it works in her favor. I feel that it works well to represent her unbalanced life. It is moving.
