When my memoir was published, I faced the reality that my perspective wasn’t the only truth. Writing about others raises complex ethical questions, but we must first consider the inherent asymmetry of power when we capture our version of events on the page.

One of my favourite parts of a book is the acknowledgements section—it’s a place where an author lets their guard down, and reveals as much about gratitude and hope as they do about heartache and hard work.
