I’m kind of digging that our read this month has such bite sized stories... also wishing that my logbook from grad school included more funny anecdotes opposed to me just describing my #MotivationalInterviewing successes and failures... #ThisIsGoingToHurt

In #Inheritance, a country of origin that you never lived in is compared to the biological sperm donor father that was never in your life. What do you think of this comparison? #GCBookClub
