"Poulos constantly reminds us that what he is writing about is as much about the reader as it is about the author. He encourages us to engage in the journey he has undertaken, to write our stories as he writes his. In fact, many times I had to pause in my reading of his book to write my own accounts, something that I think would make Poulos feel as if his project is fulfilled. And in that writing, in that story-telling, often spurred by some accidental trigger I found in his book, we both begin to find some place of healing. Poulos ends his book by finding peace through writing; by allowing the moments to flow into his writing, he finds that writing gave him the home he was looking for."
