This book is a flood of emotions waiting to be unleashed. Hope, fear, resignation, love, resilience, and a quiet strength weaves this story together, and by the end I wasn't sure if I needed to laugh or cry. Hug or be hugged. I mostly sat in stunned silence to be honest. As a female engineer there were so many aspects of this book that resonated deeply with my experience. As a human being there were so many aspects that shook me to the core. It's surreal, reading this and being able to look back at history as we know it and experience it through the lens of history as it's being written today. I highly recommend reading it.
