What a moving book about becoming yourself after a painful divorce. Maggie Smith recounts the details of her breakup with her husband, her exquisite love for her children, her rootedness in her hometown, her path to becoming a successful poet, and finally, her journey to self-discovery, in this extraordinary memoir. The quotations included, the questions asked, and the vignettes of a life lived both in duress and in triumph all come together for a bittersweet study of joy and grief. Wonderful to read.
