Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot
5.0

Sherman Alexie wrote about this book "This book is not only memoir. It is poetry. It is meditation. It is mystical - a blue-collar mysticism. The mysticism of callused hands and blistered feet. It is the mysticism of resilience. Or something larger than resilience."

I write Alexie's words because I have trouble finding my own. I have known pain and anguish in my own life, and the depth of raw pain in Heart Berries is palpable. I am awed by this book and the power of Mailhot's words.
