Generous, engaging and laugh-out-loud funny, Fox's memoir is a reminder that the willingness to share experience, good, bad, and sometimes bloody terrifying, is one of the best parts of what makes us human
Julie Myerson
Part journal, part pitch-black comedy, this extraordinary account of childhood abandonment and life-threatening illness is also a painfully intelligent meditation on vulnerability

An unexpectedly optimistic and at times funny story of hope, warmth, and the vitality of love.

Fox is a brilliant storyteller and a beautiful writer.
