About this Event

This month, the Beyond the Margins community reads together with curiosity and compassion, exploring the many ways people experience the world, communicate, and connect. Both witty and quietly heartfelt, this story invites reflection on difference, growth, and what it means to be understood, reminding us that there is no one right way to move through life.


Susan Green likes her life ordered, predictable, and firmly within her control. She prefers logic over emotion, routines over surprises, and keeps people at a careful distance. But when a series of unexpected life events begin to unravel her carefully structured world, Susan is forced to navigate change, relationships, and vulnerability in ways she never planned. Along the way, she begins to see both herself and others a little differently.

If you have ever been told you are “too much,” “too blunt,” or “too different,” this story book is for you.
