“You knowing, you think it gives you clarity, sight that pierces. It can be a cloud, a thing that obscures.”

A pure message of hope, especially in today’s climate. Beautifully interwoven themes about the power of community, restorative justice, and mechanisms of utopia that I think are important for both  youth and for adults to read and reflect on. Pet certainly packs a major punch that will have lasting effects on me. I will recommend this to everyone.
