While I really like books like this, this book just wasn't for me. I'm not sure why, but there are a ton of other memoirs out there like this that are just so much better.

3.3 out of 5. 
It’s probably a better book than my rating but it didn’t really speak to me. It’s an interesting story of the authors journey of reconciliation with generational trauma. A multifaceted recounting and sometimes riveting memoir of a traumatic upbringing by a local author. And that’s why I read it. She’s the partner of one of my mentors and so I was curious about the tale as he mentions her and it frequently. Glad I read it. Wouldn’t not recommend.

I found this to be a compelling story of several difficult lives. Perhaps it could have been shorter, but I didn’t put it down
