I find Jason’s voice and tone to be very reassuring and he has been the person I have turned to when the political news seems overwhelming so it’s really jarring to read his book and learn that the face he puts forth to the world had been hiding a man suffering from PTSD, guilt, shame, anger, and worthlessness. You really can’t tell what a person’s truth is from what they are projecting to the world.
I think the book’s structure showing both his and his wife’s POV is excellent and gives a pretty complete picture of what was going on for them.
All in all despite the heavy subject matter it is an easy book to read and it’s threaded through with hope. I’m glad Jason is doing better, I’m pleased that he has found a job that he loves and and I’m glad he hasn’t shut the door on a political future because I think he could help lead us all to a better place.
