So much power in so few words

I didn't really want to read this book because it had so few words in it! I was amazed by the impact of each paragraph, how it illuminated the experience of being the child of an alcoholic, trying to appear fine, being afraid all the time. I cried. Something about this book is also powerfully healing. Perhaps it is the expression or evocation of emotions that most of us were taught to ignore and deny. Perhaps it is the absence of vengance. It is a beaautiful book. I'm going to give it to friends.
