A remarkable book whose audio version is also wonderful. Sandra Pankhurst is a small business owner whose business is to clean up traumatic messes. Her card says "hoarding and pet hoarding cleanup * Squalor/trashed properties * preparing the home for home-help agencies to attend * odor control *Homicide, suicide, and death scenes * deceased estates * mold, flood, and fire remediation * methamphetamine lab cleanup * industrial accidents * cell cleaning." So you kind of know maybe to not start the book while you are eating. But what this doesn't tell, is the story of Sandra herself. An abused child, she started life as an adopted child of Bill and Ailsa but then she was Peter. Peter grew up and married Linda and had two sons before leaving to embark upon the journey to become Sandra. Along the way, she was a drag queen, a sex worker, a funeral director, a trophy wife, and more. This book is really amazing just like the Sandra.
