“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.”

Somebody's Daughter by Ashley C. Ford is her own story. It talks about her life, without her father's physical presence and a confusing relationship with her mother.
The book is so well written, even simple sentences were written so well that I had to highlight them because I want to remember the sound of it.
The end of the book made me really emotional. There were times I couldn't really hold my tears. There were so many emotions present in the book. Sometimes the words felt like a warm hug and sometimes I felt like if only I could go and hug that little girl. The book is full of emotions and I really don't have words to describe how beautiful it is.
It's really a beautiful read :')
"I knew I couldn’t have the sunrise or its colors for my own. Some things were too precious not to be shared."
"We don’t give up on our people. We don’t stop loving them." She looked into my face, her eyes watering at the bottoms. "Not even when we’re burning alive."
"For the rest of my life, I would seek out the library the way some search for the soft light of a chapel in the dark."
“If I give you all of me, and you give me nothing back, then what do I have? Less than nothing. Less of me, and none of you.”
"But in that moment, I felt like someone’s little girl. And I’d been waiting a long time to feel like somebody’s daughter."
"I mostly spoke my truth in the spaces where my family was absent."
