This was a gift so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I read the forward and was intrigued. It’s a bunch of short memoirs/stories/essays about things that happened to the writer. Some of the stories hit hard, and some didn’t hit at all. The content of the stories are all over the place. I only read one story in a sitting, but it’s still weird to have some of these back to back - something about war or brutal murder back to back with like singing at summer camp. Maybe it’s better listening to them.
