A review by anni_banani
From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home by Tembi Locke

emotional informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

I’ve read and re read this book after a personal loss. 

I appreciate this book for many things, most was how much it helped me to learn to continue on after loss and hold my loved one in my heart when it hurts so much without them. I also learned a lot about international marriage, Italy, Black History in Texas, dying of a terminal illness, adoption, merging of families across cultural barriers. 

I’m so grateful for a place to hold space for grief and loss. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
