Sherrie Fernandez-Williams is a new voice in memoir that youll want to know: accomplished, unblinking, right there, telling truth. Soft is about coming up through poverty and silence and getting grown, about writing as an act of faith, adoption and the shock of motherhood, terror and the hard, true path of love. A bracing, tender story that rings with joy. Turns out that crazy optimism and the disappointment it reaps can actually bloom, and life could be as spectacular as a light show of celestial bodies. --Patricia Weaver Francisco, author of Telling
