"In through the nose, out through the mouth."
What a fantastic book that has so much punch with so little words. I wish there were more books written like this. Sometimes brevity mixed in with artistic liberty can be so impactful. The way the Jasons' discussed family dynamics, racial issues, police brutality, and living in COVID 19 (and it's variants) times was beautifully done. I kept wondering why moms' couldn't change the channel? I thought that even if the channel was changed, you still couldn't escape what was happening in the world. I too felt like the sister who wanted to break free. But break free to what? I find myself confused and frustrated with what freedom is and how to manifest it given the world we live in today. I will have to re-read this book and hold this book dear to me for decades to come.
