This was such a a brilliant interview. As with another comment here, I feel the need to reread this, digest it, and spend time considering all of the details provided. This is it's own MFA in memoir..
I don't feel like I can find adequate words for how much I appreciate this. I'm going to have to ponder it, re-read, get Nina's book, and ponder it some more. There's a thing here about the Venn Diagram of religion, spirituality, mental health, trauma, and addiction that is chasing me. Thanks for offering a sign post on that circuitous, inexplicable path.

Thank you for reading! And I'm so glad it was rich to read - Nina is one of my favorite people to talk to about these things.

I'm so glad, Asha! The book is truly so brilliant and moving, and it speaks directly to that Venn diagram intersection. <3
wonderful, just requested that my library buy the book!
Yay!!!!
