“To the world, he was a bad man. To me, he was my dad who did a bad thing. I was still trying to figure out what it meant to love someone who had done such a bad thing, but I did love him. And that was enough for me to show up, and say so to his face.”

The synopsis of this memoir fixates on Ashley’s relationship with her incarcerated father but this is just a small piece of this coming of age memoir. We learn about Ashley growing up poor within a fractured and abusive family, yet loving (if that makes any sense.) We are on a journey with her through puberty, self acceptance and growth.
I really enjoyed Ford’s writing and look forward to her future work (I can’t believe this is a debut!) I will say that because this book is so short, it felt a little unfinished to me. I wanted more exploration on various points and relationships in her life (like her Father, her ex, and her husband.) Due to the brevity of the memoir, it made some of the transitions a little clunky IMO. But overall I’m glad I read this memoir and it was eye opening and thought provoking.
