Book
Mistakes to run with / Yasuko Thanh.
A devastatingly honest memoir that reckons with the past in order to ask whether the things that happen to us - and the choices we make - dictate the people that we become. This book chronicles the turbulent early years of the author's life, from a rough childhood to her teen years as a sex worker to her emergence as a writer. Growing up in a housing project in Victoria, BC, Thanh rebels against her extremely religious parents. Alternating between living on the streets and in foster homes, she acquires a taste for drugs and alcohol and learns unlikely lessons about sex, power, and friendship. It's the act of writing that ultimately becomes a solace from her suffering.
