Finding Fish: A Memoir by Antwone Quenton Fisher, Mim Eichler Rivas

dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

During the memoir Antwone doesn’t just retell his story. He does so in the way that makes you feel as thought you’re walking alongside him during his life story. Antwone provides the reader with the insight of his child self while simultaneously displaying the wisdom he has gained in adulthood. Other reviewers have complained about the “sadness” of the book. While I do think those who may be triggered by mental, physical, and sexual abuse should not read the book such critics of sadness are ridiculous. Antwones life and especially his childhood in the foster care system accurately depict the lives of so many children. The success, wisdom, relationships, and happiness he provided and found for himself in spite of his abusers is truly inspirting.
