Don’t read this and visit your therapist on the same day, unless you want to confront a dozen demons; all named Shame. It’s a great collection. Scenes between Kara’s mother and grandmother are gripping, and visceral.
I loved River Mumma much more, but liked this one a lot. Since this is a young writer’s debut, I’d say I’ll be on the lookout for her next release.
