Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar
by Cheryl Strayed
I knew before reading this book that I would love it. I am a huge, ridiculous and sometimes annoying fan of Sugar. I read her columns religiously and almost every single one of them has hit me hard and made me sob. And now? Now, here are so many of them - all of my favorites and some that have never been posted on The Rumpus - right in one little place. I read them before Cheryl Strayed was revealed as Sugar and I read them afterward. She is glorious and a wonderful writer and she gives, I shit you not, the best advice I've ever seen without it even feeling like she's giving advice.
The Obliterated Place is the column that has hit me the hardest. I read it over and over and over back when I first discovered it shortly after my miscarriage and it saved me. I hadn't read it again until yesterday when I read it here, and once again it affected me greatly. I experienced the same visceral reaction as before.
She has been through hell and back more than once which has given her the ability and insight to do this so well. She's amazing.
Read this. Please. I can assure you that you will be touched at least once, if not countless times again and again.
If you don't have time/money to read the book, check your local library (that's where I got mine, though I've since bought a copy for myself and another to give to a specific someone who I think will benefit from reading it). Short of that, please read this column: the Obliterated Place.
