I love the overall point of this, that you can do something terrible when you are young and still bounce back from it. I loved the example of an asylum that actually healed patients. And I love that the author, looking at this through a modern lens, thought to question how Robert and Nattie were being raised.
What got me was all of the tangents. So many tangents.
Maybe it's because it's summer and I just don't have the normal amount of patience but this felt like a lecture that just would not end.
