Ring of Salt: A Memoir of Finding Home and Hope on the Wild Coast of Ireland:
"It's hard for me to read memoirs like this one because I could have written about many of the same experiences in my own life. This is about as honest and open a memoir about domestic abuse that I've ever read, while also sparing the reader from the "

“I'm looking for a writer who doesn't know where the sentence is leading her; a writer who starts with her obsessions and whose heart is bursting with love, a writer sly enough to give the slip to her secret police, the ones who know her so well, the ones with the power to accuse and condemn in the blink of an eye. It's all right that she doesn't know what she's thinking until she writes it, as if the words already exist somewhere and draw her to them. She may not know how she got there, but she knows when she's arrived.”
