\"In Because, Joseph Riippi says he wants this book to be \'a love letter, a prayer, a purge\' but it actually becomes even more than that. It\'s a bursting-at-the-seams dream that cradles so many wishes and passions into its wide scope that it constantly surprises with unexpected turns and brilliant thoughts. It transcends its simple mantra-like structure and becomes a reverberating world of beauty and wonder.\"-Kevin Sampsell, author of This Is Between Us
