An atypical tale of love, loss and magic. This is a memoir, but it's not a straight line of stories with a nice clean ending. It's a pull-you-by-the-hand series of short pieces that meet the chaos, trauma and resilience of the human spirit head on. Written to be read from any page, it contains slices of each stage of life the author has so far lived. Like a chat with your favorite aunt, it crosses time lines and spans decades. Read like a diary or journal, the casual and intimate prose and poetry highlight the struggles and triumphs of a life lived on the edge of poverty and underscored by intersecting areas of oppression including disability, chronic illness, parenting, poverty, sexual assault, homelessness and substance abuse. This is an hours long chat with a friend, not a documentary of a tidy life. It's the pieces we try to hide from, but which form us. This is what it looks like when one spends a lifetime eating pain for dinner and you're invited to the main course.
