If people were watching me on stage, I must belong and be important. Right? It was a way to bolster my self-esteem. But not a very good one, because it falls apart. It became a place to process hurt.

From a personal perspective, it was great to read this book and get to know a lot better someone I've known for years. From a simply reader's perspective it was an enthralling journey that would have had me hooked regardless of the author. Many times I would forget who I was reading about.

It’s a common idea to many of us, that of starting over — we do it when we move to a new place, start a new school, leave or enter a relationship. But Downing takes these transformations to new levels, mainly because they are forced upon him by a tumultuous family situation that leaves him moving from country to country and trying to heal from childhood traumas with essentially no help.
