Robin Wall Kimmerer makes an excellent smile that grapes my attention in her letter: "books let us be like trees, don't you think? Seeing beyond the span of our own lives, reaching high into the sunlight and deep into the dark fertile soil of imagination." I could tell this was Kimmerer's before I saw her name. Her writing brings me peace.

One of the things I think about when it comes to memoirs is that a good memoir often lingers long after I've finished reading, not because of the events themselves but because of the perspective it offers me. So I'm wondering, what’s a memoir that changed the way you see the world, or yourself, and why did it resonate so strongly with you?
I haven't read very many from this quest yet, but still, Know My Name by Chanel Miller is definitely my answer. I read it in 2022 and I still think about it all the time. When I was reading it, I was feeling (and learning!) just how much courage it takes to reclaim your own voice after something so horrific. It really made me think about how often society silences survivors and how important it is to listen and believe people’s experiences. I still find myself reflecting on my own assumptions and how I can be more empathetic in everyday life. It was so valuable to me.
I'm still looking for more recommendations from this quest so I'm hoping this question helps me find some gems ☺️

it was so sweet. I loved how they were friends first and they began to see each other as more. I like the growth that they both had and honestly all the cast of characters. (Except maybe Mrs. Wrenwhistle, but what can you expect from a Mrs. Bennett type.) I also liked reading a romance with a non-binary main character.
