I was just immersed in this story. I also loved the reflections from her mother’s perspective I’m having to go back to find her family where she was already in the US. It felt harrowing just the same even though her anxiety was from such a different perspective. Her father 🥹🥹. I loved Wayétu’s relationship with him and the memoir also felt a lot like a love letter to her parents and grandmother. I’ve never really read much about Liberia and look forward to reading more about the country and more books from Wayétu Moore. So good. So heartbreaking. But left me with hope all the same.
