The Love You Save: A Memoir by Goldie Taylor
3.5
emotional informative reflective slow-paced

This book was outside of my regular genra which makes it hard to rate. 

The book was slow paced, but as it wrapped up I found myself wanting more. 

Readers will learn of the traumas of her upbringing. I know I identified with the sense of not feeling like you belong any where. It was empowering to read as she seemed to find her place in the world. 

I am curious as to why the book ends while she is still 16. I ended up googling Goldie to find she has had a very successful adult career. 

One reviewer said this book would give hope to those dealing with trauma. As I reflect on this book, I struggle to come to terms with my feelings. But I can agree with that sentiment.
