Going from one autobiography to a very different one. #booksky Will the pope be as interesting as Matt Perry? I suspect he will be less self-centered! #biography #book. I was kinda routing for Matt at the end. Eery to read his words.

Walt’s fists—always closed, never open—were meat mallets tenderizing whatever flesh they found. They left constellations of purple-black galaxies blooming beneath my skin, each bruise a dark star born of violence. Whatever he felt comfortable using on me […]

At night, I'd watch her through cracked doorways, her silhouette hunched and trembling, and wonder which version of my mother would greet me in the morning - the one whose fingers would gently brush my hair, or the one whose hands would clench into fists […]

Helen, the woman who saved me. Or at least she tried to.
"Add more flour, but, do it gently," she'd scold, her voice warm despite the sharp edges. "You're not building a damn wall—you're coaxing something into being." Then she'd laugh, that throaty sound […]

The background of the cover is a scene from the West, from top to bottom: Dark blue-gray sky, wooden rail fences set on light red hills, a sandy desert floor of the same hue. The title covers the top third in white capitalized font. The author's name and illustrator's name are at the bottom. Taking center stage are three dances dressed as cowboys. From left to right, a woman in a yellow top and checked long skirt, the center is a woman in a red-checked shirt, brown pants tucked into dark brown boots and on the right is a man in a light tan cowboy had with a red shirt and a blue bandana at this throat. he's also in brown pants and brown boots. I don't have the words to describe it well, but all three dancers are in dance poses. it's delightful. The woman who's in the center is a little larger and has kicked a leg up high is a jump from left to right.
