Wow! This was a fabulous book. Raw, revealing, touching, sad and kind. I wonder why I had waited so long to read this.
Wow! This was an amazing read... not what I expected. Sandra’s life is undeniably sad. The cleaning is almost secondary (although I ‘enjoyed’ grimacing through the descriptions of them too) but are woven into Sandra’s story, shedding light onto her character and how she is able to deal with her clients with absolute patience, firmness, care, and with no judgement.

This story found within the pages of THE TRAUMA CLEANER One Woman’s Extraordinary Life in the Business of Death, Decay, and Disaster was unexpected. I find myself a bit mislead because I wanted this to be about a woman who cleaned up messes and made it easier to cope and move on from the traumatic event of Death what I got was a book about a woman who transitions from being a man to a woman. When I start off my review and say I feel mislead I so not wish anyone to think I am disappointed this is still a three-star read. I find Sandra’s candor refreshing. While helping people deal with there lives and delimas we get a glimpse of who Sandra was and who she wanted to be. If you take anything away from this book I hope that acceptance and self-awareness is what you get. The strength that is depicted in these pages is not something to take lightly. I am so glad to live in a day and age where I can say that people need to do what makes them feel like the best versions of themselves and not give into what society wants them to be. Sarah Krasnostein is very courageous in telling Sandra’s story just as Sandra is amazing for opening up and being herself regardless of the rough road. Rhank you netgalley and all parties for my arc.
