Recently finished this beautiful, moving, and informative memoir by Congresswoman Sarah McBride. I’m grateful for her hard work and advocacy, and proud to have her in our government.

I am really enjoying this book so far! A fantastic weaving of philosophy, science, and the wonder of the octopus (a new favorite creature of mine). Highly recommend it.
