Beyond the typical surface level memoir, this was deeply personal. Really beautiful to hear about the generations that created their family. There were parts that I could tell were added in because she was told she needed to (cough cough so many nice things about Jay)

This was a beautiful book. I really appreciate how she never lost the plot because although her daughter is who she is, that didn't overshadow the story that was intended. This is a book about Tina from start to finish. You can't walk away from this without feeling respect and admiration for her. She is so down to earth and I love how the book really normalized her. She has the same thoughts, insecurities, struggles, goals and doubts that we all have. Her friends are like our friends and her family is like our family. I didn't know much, if anything about her and I'm glad I got to know her in this way.

The title of this book is so fitting. Ms. Tina really did take care of her whole community time and time again. I was disheartened by some of the things she experienced as a child. What happened to her at that hospital and the continued harassment of her family was completely unacceptable but not surprising. There will always be people in positions of power who abuse it.
