Noelle Stevenson tells us heavy things in an accessible way — her struggles with self, with talent and creativity and drive — and as any successful memoir will do, we empathize, feel her pain, and celebrate with her. She is a remarkable artist. I look forward to all that is yet to come. Recommended By Doug C., Powells.com
