Beautifully written Abby, as always. Another well-written, albeit heart wrenching, memoir is "When Breath Becomes Air" by Paul Kalanithi. I would like to reread it because it has been years since I first read it, but I am resistant. I wept (ugly cried) the first time.

And let's not forget Charity Tillemann-Dick's memoir, "The Encore." Miss her so much.

I loved the energy you brought to your presentation in Bianca’s memoir workshop! And there’s so many wonderful takeaways in this piece, too. I began writing my memoir at age 57, decades after the events took place. I definitely needed the time, distance, and perspective to write an honest and relatable story.
