Cover of I TALK LIKE A RIVER by Jordan Scott and Sydney Smith, showing a painting of a young boy waist-deep in a river.
I struggled with stammering as a child & still find it challenging when I'm tired/stressed. When I have a particularly hard day that way, I read I TALK LIKE A RIVER by Jordan Scott & Sydney Smith. Always makes me weep, but in a good & cathartic way. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/624747...
