Wow, just wow. Ms. Anderson shares her biography in poetical format. She opens up in such a raw and unprotected way that you truly feel like you are experiencing it all with her. From her parents' issues naturally bleeding into her childhood to her experience of sexual assault, I see Ms. Anderson as a real person. So many times I think of authors as being glamorous (they are my movie stars), but I think for the first time, I get it. Laurie Halse Anderson is just trying to share her story to the world so that every reader will be able to have a support system in their lives for devastating experiences. And she delves into when and why she wrote the books she did. Amazing book, which will be front and center on our shelves when it comes out.
