Endorsements

“In this profoundly crushing yet redemptive memoir, Goolrick peels back his skin for the reader. Through gorgeous prose, he gradually discloses layer upon layer of deplorable abuse, and as the coating underneath becomes exposed, so too does an exquisitely sensitive soul, whose self-awareness is so uniquely well articulated, it would shock me if the reader’s heart went unchanged.”
— Amanda Stern, author of The Long Haul

“Stunning—a dark, glimmering jewel of a book. There were moments when the language was so lush and clear and haunting that I was caught up short.”
—Alison Smith, author of Name All the Animals
