All that aside, this book was WILD. It's one of those books that my privileged ass reads and just cannot fathom that someone actually has a life like this. Every minute in the first 75% or so was one insane thing after another. I can't say I've read many books from that POV, so I am really glad that I did read it, and I can't say I'll easily forget it either.

I really identified with her reflections on family. I appreciate her bravery/courage to share so much with us, because *wOw* the way my jaw dropped as I was reading.
She really ended generational curses and I'm so proud of her for that. I can only hope to do the same in my own life. If you're looking to diversify your books on the black experience THIS is the one. Highly recommend.
