Heartbreaking and inspiring. It’s a story about generational trauma and family relationships told by a millennial woman raised in America. The storytelling is raw and real. My takeaways: an important history lesson (and desire to learn/do more) about the US military, an exploration of what defines love, and a good reminder that everyone has a story to tell.
