yet another reread. this book will forever hold a special place right here—deep in my chest, inside my heart. i remember reading this for the first time when i was in a very dark place. how healing it was. how healing it still is. it healed that little mexican girl growing up in the states, it validated her, made her felt seen. never had i felt so understood. the hole in my heart ached. i sobbed then and now.
