This book was a little bit hard for me to get through because of how much pain was written into it. Sarah talks through her mother’s life and her own childhood and the violence and abuse she witnessed so casually. Sarah has to deal with the torture of losing her mother at such a young age and having no answers. She’s spent a good portion of her adult life searching for closure after the murderer was eventually caught and preserving her mother’s legacy. Overall I enjoyed the book and seeing how Sarah used her love of creative writing to honor her mother in this memoir.
