Snippets and glimpses of a life that is so completely different than mine, so different than my mom's (who is almost the same afe as the authot), and is so important. Important because it made me think, "Did we grow up in the same country?" And also because for some people, I bet they thought, "Yup, me too."

People saying this is middle grade or ya but honestly could be in adult non-fic as well.

Audio read by the author in her rich, slow voice is just perfect.
