She Got Herself a Universe is some of the best writing I've heard. Tears streaming my face while driving. People giving low stars cannot possibly have been reached appropriately by that essay, there's no way. It's so good that the rest of the book could somehow fall flat and I'd still give it five stars.

Didn't expect to have tears streaming quietly down my face while driving, but the essay She Got Herself a Universe is some of the best writing I've heard. He gave his all for that read. Gotta take a minute at the gas station to collect myself.

Memoirs and essays are the hidden gems of reading slumps -- when you're lucky enough to find the audio versions read by the author, able to stand against your past (and recent) coveted listens, and add to the (likely) short list of ones you've enjoyed. I scoured Libby for this very intention and downloaded about 9 memoirs; this familiar author that I waited till last to try was the winner. The others, absolutely not.
