- Am I the last queer person on earth to read LONG LIVE THE TRIBE OF FATHERLESS GIRLS? Maybe. Am I glad I finally did it? My goodness, yes.
- This book is incredible. Madden is detailing some horrific events, and yet this book is so tender, both toward her younger self and her family.
- At first I wasn't sure about the vignette style of storytelling, with all the jumping around in time. I'm glad I stuck with it, though, because the way Madden's story unwinds at the end of the book is spectacular.
