dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

Memoirs can be tricky, repetitive, or overdone. Mamaskatch is none of those things. It is beautiful, insightful. It covers tragedies but emphasizes moments of beauty. It is about the complications of family, of intersectional identities, about how we keep living, we keep going on, no matter what life does to us.
