Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls
by T Kira Madden
This memoir is about a young woman who is the daughter of a Hawaiian Chinese mother and a Jewish father, who grows up in Boca Raton Florida. Her family is well off but dysfunctional. For instance, she has her own horses and competes with them, but her older cousin ends up taking her to one of her competitions when she's still in grade school because our author's parents have been holed up in their room for the last week doing cocaine.
T Kira grows up finding solace with other girls who are about as fucked up as she is. She explores her sexual identity, grieves the loss of her father, and more. There's a bombshell around the 90 percent mark in the book, and another right at the end. I wont' reveal any spoilers, though. I love Madden's writing and the way she describes her flawed mother and father with compassion. Recommended.
