For some of us, we can look at a shelf and get a picture of our lives. This memoir in eleven essays takes various books, movies, songs, and video games, and transforms them into stories of family, struggle, friendship, loss, and healing. It's the story of a life told through the art that shaped it. From early childhood to encroaching middle age, the stories in this book cover topics ranging from mental health, addiction, assault, religion, filmmaking, teaching, and contentment.
