In conclusion, it can be said that while the opening chapters may read a tad academic for a practitioner, the book eases into a telling of history that is accessible and kind to all kinds of readers. The effort to bring in a diversity of voices, experiences, and expressions, gives a richness to the book and keeps it interesting.
