"The honest truth: I wish I'd had this book in my twenties. Maybe I would have suffered less angst. Or maybe the level of angst would be the same, but it would've felt purposeful."
—Amazon Reviewer
"Whimsical, nostalgic, and clever. If you are over 30 looking for a way to forgive yourself for once being 23 or if you are 23 wondering when you will reach that point in life when it all works out, then this is for you."
—Amazon Reviewer
"My copy is as dog-eared as a basset hound."

An introverted Midwesterner with big feelings and a shameful people-pleasing streak, Abi Wurdeman hoped her twenties would transform her into one of those fierce, take-charge broads quoted on sassy refrigerator magnets.

Ninety percent memoir and ten percent unsolicited advice, Cross-Section of a Human Heart is the story of a floundering journey from mousey young adult to proper grown-ass.
