i read the review.
I like it so far. Each chapter is from a different character's perspective. Only about 60-70 pages in, yet usually like legal/courtroom dramas and do have an interest in hyperbaric medicine. Have found the practice of medicine very fascinating of late.i read the review.
and what do you think so far?

I'm not entirely sure. Facebook maybe? Stumbled upon her somehow and even if she's perceived as a somewhat liberal Christian and drops some f bombs every now and then, I dig her authenticity. Really sad her Jamison passed. He seemed like a good boy.How did you find the very worst missionary?
Ya, she’s seems like a pretty liberal Christian from the couple of posts I read. Ya, it made me sad to read about her son, her marriage, her depression.I'm not entirely sure. Facebook maybe?

@polymoog , this was a fantastic book actually. I would read more by Angie Kim. There is some disturbing content in it, yet it is worth the read. Probably will never try hyperbaric chambers or "miracle submarines" located at someone's house/property now.I like it so far. Each chapter is from a different character's perspective.

first you have to find the very worst sex partner....How did you find the very worst missionary?
read man is wolf to man and kolyma tales. i recommend the latter only, and only if its dirt cheap on abes.com since its a thin book.The Day Will Pass Away: The Diary of a Gulag Prison Guard 1935-1936 by Ivan Christyakov.
Ayesha at Last was really good. Still reading the others. Have added The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai.Safe People by Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend: This is a reread from a decade ago, but I need to reread it every year. If you attract unsafe, hurtful, toxic people to you, please read. It's okay to have boundaries. Plus, it helps you identify where you are unsafe. Very good.
How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan: Pollan researched LSD and psilocybin (mushrooms) and their effects on depression, addiction and anxiety.
Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin: Muslim Pride and Prejudice.
I think I have Kolyma Tales in my pile of unread books. Thanks for the recommendations.read man is wolf to man and kolyma tales. i recommend the latter only, and only if its dirt cheap on abes.com since its a thin book.
