5.0

I really enjoyed this book! Aside from much of the content being graphic (many would consider it to be deeply unsettling), it was beautifully written.

I really identified with her reflections on family. I appreciate her bravery/courage to share so much with us, because *wOw* the way my jaw dropped as I was reading. 

She really ended generational curses and I'm so proud of her for that. I can only hope to do the same in my own life. If you're looking to diversify your books on the black experience THIS is the one. Highly recommend.

As someone who loves Ms Pat's comedy and interviews, her memoir is beautiful. There were many times that it made me cry, but there were even more times it made me laugh. A lot of stories/experiences she's brought up in interviews are written in detail here and include her thoughts and feelings as an adult and as a child. Great book, was genuinely sad when it was over.
