This is one of the most comforting books I‘ve read, which is surprising since a lot of the subject matter is very heavy. The 50 stories in this book are snippets of recorded verbal conversations from the StoryCorps project, so at times I think the book suffers because you can‘t hear the voices. I also found myself wanting more of certain stories. The stories vary in subject matter and theme but it‘s very easy to find relatable, touching bits.
