Eaton Hamilton liked Renée Roehl's review of A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides: "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was an exceptional page-turning read.

Eaton’s Quotes

“Advice from a Caterpillar

Chew your way into a new world.
Munch leaves. Molt. Rest. Molt
again. Self-reinvention is everything.
Spin many nests. Cultivate stinging
bristles. Don't get sentimental
about your discarded skins. Grow
quickly. Develop a yen for nettles.
Alternate crumpling and climbing. Rely
on your antennae. Sequester poisons
in your body for use at a later date.
When threatened, emit foul odors
in self-defense. Behave cryptically
to confuse predators: change colors, spit,
or feign death. If all else fails, taste terrible.”
― Amy Gerstler, Dearest Creature
