Why read it?

Oh, Hubert Bird, I love you so. I couldn't talk about this book in public for about a month after reading it. An unflinching look at topics like racism, family fractures, bereavement, friendship, which is as beautiful as it is painful. It's a book for our time. It shows the world that I want to live in, with friends from all quarters and generations, coming together to help create community for each other. Amazing, beautiful.
