Notes on Resilience
“So painstakingly beautiful”

Art x Souls
"The back cover of this book starts with 'with raw vulnerability...' and typically, that's just something publishers write into the synopsis to draw you into the story. But in this case, it's absolutely true. I felt this man's pain radiating off the pages as I read his story. I hate what he's had to endure - I can't imagine being in his position, but I can relate to the emotion he shared, and my heart breaks for him."
