The book is intimate, persuasive, funny, and compassionate. And it’s the opposite of bitter. Lenz walked away from her marriage to rebuild her life in her 40s, and to find out what freedom feels like. Reading her story, we get to feel that freedom too.

When I taught @CatapultStory, I assigned an excerpt from David Carr's memoir, The Night of the Gun, and asked students to take a deeply held memory and interrogate it with people who were there. It's a great reporting exercise that led to many surprises about truth and memory. https://t.co/ad5axMRAEJ
