I expected interviews with well-known survivors of tragedy and trauma, with a hint of the personal from Leigh herself. Leigh does deliver this. The interviews are beautifully written, equal parts thoughtful and thought-provoking. Leigh gives voice to questions most people only think and few occasionally whisper.
