This story is one of a fighter. And you cannot possibly say otherwise. And I think Joanna tells that story in a way that makes you respect her ownership of her mistakes while also being proud of her accomplishments.

One note: I found the writing style to be a bit helter skelter. Chronological order made sense in my mind, but I kinda wish she had organized it into sections and then been chronological within those, just because the clover stopping points didn’t offer enough of a break between the ideas during a chapter. But otherwise, beautiful.
