    Powerful and deeply emotional. Audrey Cefaly once again showcases her talent with clean, sparse, raw - but oh-so-loaded-with-depth dialogue. A collection of interwoven stories that takes us on a journey to an emotional mountain top, and a wonderful journey it is!

    The narrative that takes us inside the full experience of single fatherhood while struggling with loneliness and depression is remarkably effective and powerful. The layered details take us into the depth of this raw and heartbreaking journey. Exquisite work.
