"Sophia had never been very emotionally functional, but when she had to move to Spain at age thirteen without knowing the language, she started losing touch more and more. She fought to find answers to her problems, and in doing so dug herself deeper into the pit of dysfunction, even as she struggled with life-threatening Crohn's disease.
This autobiography paints a picture of a unique, intense, and troubled person, searching for... what was she searching for? All she knew was, she was searching. And stubborn as she was, she would never give up until she found it."
In 2015, I interviewed Sophia and this is what she told me about this book: "I had an opportunity for a year to be supported in my living expenses while I wrote a book. There were lots of things I wanted, and still want to, write about, but this project made sense as the first one simply for the pragmatic reason that the longer I wait, the more of my memories I will forget.
