The Encore: A Memoir in Three Acts by Charity Tillemann-Dick
5.0
I was first lead to this book after listening to an interview Charity did on the Strangerville podcast. Hearing the brief version of her story there was enough to look up and purchase her book.
It’s an inspiring story and as someone that can have a hard time reading non-fiction/memoirs, this was a quick read. Telling the story from when she was just beginning her opera career to her diagnosis of PH and subsequent attempts to healing, this book is divided into three Acts reminiscent of the opera the Charity loves. Reading about her double lung transplant and how she kept on singing and kept living life to the fullest her way, is a true inspiration.
