I love an essay collection and this was a good one! For some reason I thought this was going to be funny, and though there is quirk, I felt much more anxiety than I expected to feel. The author‘s son began having seizures which is traumatic. She writes openly and eloquently about her worries for him and how it has impacted their family. Also, the essay about the visiting turtle is adorable. But definitely not as light-hearted as I imagined.
