pickSpent my day off home sick, again. But I used the time to finish this book! Intended to be a coauthored memoir, Edie Windsor died before completion, leaving Joshua Lyon to figure out how to finish when her voice was so specific. His solution: to wrap up chapters in his own voice & with interviews with those who knew her. An interesting way of giving context to a fascinating woman‘s life.

2. I find myself crying, thankful that this account exist so that I could bear witness to such a lovely, long-lasting relationship.
I had never heard of Edie Windsor before her landmark Supreme Court case. A case that was being argued on March 27, 2013 as @BookishMarginalia and I were getting married in New York City‘s Carl Schurz Park. ⬇️
