Buen Camino - My Walk Through 540 Miles of Rain, Resentment, and Redemption
Reads
I’m always on the hunt for books that grab me by the heart and won’t let go.
Here are some of my recommendations. Most of what I love is dark, taking me on a journey deep inside desire, shame, failure, and making me face our collective need for compassion. They are stories about what it means to be human. Stories about how to survive.
