This book was so thoughtfully written. The story just seemed to unfold as you came to know the characters, especially the main character, Gifty, and her family history as she grapples with it.
Graphic: Death and Addiction
Moderate: Grief, Suicide attempt, and Mental illness
There is a lot of difficult relationship between mother and daughter(protagonist).
There is also a lot of religious trauma and questioning.
