This Telling by Cheryl Strayed

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This beautiful, moving short story by Cheryl Strayed depicts a life built around a long-hidden secret. A teenager puts her baby up for adoption in the '60s and this tale explores the lingering impact for a woman who had few options in her youth. Well-written and thought-provoking. 

This Telling is part of the Out of Line series, which Amazon describes as: "an incisive collection of funny, enraging, and hopeful stories of women’s empowerment and escape. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single thought-provoking sitting."
