Did you know that The Michigan Daily publishes things during the summer? Michelle Liao’s recent statement piece for The Michigan Daily beautifully explores her journey with non fiction books. She shares something relatable: that she turned to books as an escape–a way to lose herself in a world that is not her own. This desire kept her away from non fiction books for some time, until she picked up the memoir “The Glass Castle” by Jeanette Walls. She shares how this book launched her into an unwelcome but needed journey of growth. Liao’s piece synthesizes her experience with honesty and eloquence, inspiring readers to reflect on their story and the factors that have shaped it.
