Thin Places: Essays from in Between by Jordan Kisner
Jordan Kisner’s memoir Thin Places is a series of essays about identity, religion, immigration, life and death, and mental health. Each essay is deeply human and combines both factual information and her own personal perspective.
As a journalist, I really appreciated how Kisner’s writing is investigative but also relatable. As you read about topics you may not have had much knowledge about before (such as the intricacies of the Shaker community, or the Society of Martha Washington Pageant and Ball in Loredo, TX), you realize how these topics are lessons for life itself.
Kisner writes openly and candidly about her own struggles with cultural identity and mental health, and her openness about her experiences makes her writing that much more rich and influential.
I highly recommend this book!
