This was a sad story about a glimpse of generational trauma passed down thrown through harmful cultural practices. I hate to say this book was mostly boring but it’s writing is bland with a pretty metaphor here and there. It’s a fairly short easy read so it made it easy to speed through. I ended it hoping we would see some peace at the end, but nope.
