Cannot even begin to recommend this enough. If you don't know Megan's story, this will blow your mind. Even if you do already know about her profound capacity for love and courage and humility, this is well worth a read. Read it and then buy it for everyone since you know you haven't even started holiday gift shopping. It should honestly be required reading as we head into an election year. So moving. So good. | In the last 48 hours I read this entire extraordinarily beautiful, difficult, and compelling book. I can?t remember the last time a book made me cry. Later this week I?m so excited to have a conversation on stage with @meganphelps at @nantucketproj | In the last 48 hours I read this entire extraordinarily beautiful, difficult, and compelling book.
