American Daughter by Stephanie Thornton Plymale, Elissa Wald
4.0
“Nothing is as simple as a fairytale”
American Daughter by Stephanie Thornton Plymale is a memoir of a woman who hid her past, just like her mother and grandmothers did before her. This memoir has so many layers and about 1/3 of the way through, I didn’t know if this story was one I cared to read anymore about. Then a “so what” moment happened and OH MY OH (you can ask my family) I did nothing except bury myself in the rest of Stephanie’s story. Unforgettable, complex and insightful, this memoir is right up there with The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls.
