Inside Passage: A Memoir by Keema Waterfield

Its always hard for me to talk about memoirs. And it takes a special mood to get to reading them. Still, when I saw the synopsis of this one, I knew it is something I would like to read. I mean, book about growing up in Alaska in a somewhat unconventional family. Sign me in! And thank you @katerockbooktours @keemasaurusrex for giving me the opportunity to
read and review it.

This is a story about growing up touring music festivals, changing towns all the time, looking for stability and connection. It's also about dealing with some mental issues and loving people in spite of all of their flaws.
I wish there was more of Alaska cause it's the setting that really gives a special vibe and more about some family issues that were only touched lightly. But this is also a book of someone's life and I am sure the author had to have a lot of strength to put her life in writing and expose itself to the world.
