In case you wondered what real grit and determination looked like..
Constellations: Reflections from Life by Sinead Gleeson (New York, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2019)
Why you should read it: I do not think I fully understood grit and graciousness until reading Sinead’s story – a life “marked by terrible illness”. Her story is one of determination, hope and sadly, it’s a story sprinkled with a rather healthy serving of others doubting her physical pain.
