In six wonderful essays, Sarah Polley weaves six different stories of trauma, of always-shifting memory and how it instructs and shapes our bodies, our lives, but also how our bodies and time itself inform our memory and change the way we remember and perceive and understand our past. Endlessly moving, empathetic, and inspiring. Her insights on illness, trauma, sexual assault, motherhood, and childhood were a balm to the soul.
