There is a lot of difficult relationship between mother and daughter(protagonist). There is also a lot of religious trauma and questioning.ollie_again's review against another edition

I would recommend this if you're drawn to memoirs or particularly reflective fiction.
My biggest qualm with this book is that I felt like I was waiting for the book to pick up a plot line that it never did. I also don't read a lot of books this tied up in Christianity, so I may have not been the perfect audience.

Small note that I was pleasantly surprised by the queer representation in this one (MC is queer).
