A perfect book for girls who grew up with fathers but not dads, for girls who had more identity crises by 20 than most have in a lifetime, for girls who were betrayed by their families, and for girls who love their families despite all that.

dark emotional hopeful reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

This is very much a "all the trigger warnings" very seriously kind of book but it's a really good read nonetheless

The last chapter of the book was honestly my favorite part especially with it going back and forth between her and her mom's timeline

I don't have much to say besides READ. THIS. BOOK. Anyone wants a suggestion for a good memoir to read this is it

Update on 05.09.2024: I did not reread this book for a long time in fear that it would not be as powerful the second time around. It was an unfounded concern. Beautiful once again.

 - 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.
