Uncovering Unseen Resilience: How K.J. Ramsey’s Memoir Reveals Joy Thriving Amidst Heartache
The memoir is sectioned in four parts, each with cinematic vignettes. Part one opens with a road trip. In this section, the reader spends time in the natural world — camping and swimming and hiking — and the place-based prose feels similar to the nature writing of Annie Dillard or the travelogues of Cheryl Strayed. But then, in the latter parts, we descend into the cold and clinical walls of countless hospitals, and her story of illness is reminiscent of Sarah Manguso’s Two Kinds of Decay and Suleika Jaouad’s Between Two Kingdoms.
