I started this book with my sister, switching off reading out loud to each other. Robbin's raw honestly and simple prose is accessible and inspirational. My sister has struggled with addiction for a decade and after beginning this book, she found strength to admit herself to rehab. She told me that she credits the experience of reading this book, Robbin's honesty and vulnerability, as a catalyst for this change in her life. Thank you so much for writing this.

Heng has managed to write something both epic and intimate. The Great Reclamation is a reminder that every great wave of history is made up of step here, a look there, a puffing of hubris, a pang of sorrow. Absolutely beautiful.
