I will not edit out the truth。 I will not try to make myself look better than I really was.” This total honesty leads Karen to admit unfortable truths to Jacob— the night you were born was not the best night of my life,” she writes. “I was terrified。 I was tired。 I was sad’’ 一 and, especially, to record the disturbance of feelings that run high after Jacob and his father meet for the first time and get along famously.
