Ashley C. Ford is a tremendous writer, and this memoir is written almost in flashes of memories and reflections. It's a true glimpse into her life, through the highs and lows and the waves of emotions she experienced between. The book is bookended by interactions with her father, who is a presence in the story despite not being present throughout her childhood. I highly recommend.

I also greatly enjoyed the interview at the end between Ford and Clint Smith; it is always enlightening to hear great writers discuss their craft. (I may listen to that portion again after reading Smith's book, since he discusses his own word in-depth, too.)

Incarceration also comes up a lot, since the author's father is in prison for most of the book.arielkahn's review against another edition
