Probably the best non-fiction I’ve read in a very long time. Both heart wrenching and triumphant. Daniella is a consummate storyteller. I will be reading her next book!

I feel like I say this about every memoir I read (and finish) but quite possibly one of the most impactful books I've read. Mestyanek Young has full control over her story and expertly weaves it with commentary from her current insights. The epilogue was beautiful and I'll be thinking about it for a long time.

This was one of the best memoirs I've read. And the audiobook was narrated by the author, which made it even more impactful. I appreciated that it flowed chronologically, and that she has obviously had enough time to heal to accurately reflect on her journey in a somewhat neutral way.

challenging dark informative tense

4.5

I found out about the author via her tiktok account knitting cult lady 

I want it first known i read only the part about the army because I've been encountering a lot of microaggressions lately over the military & i didn't have time to listen to the first 2 parts because of that recent crisis.

This book helped clarify how a lot of these horrible laws such as the no water laws were normalized in the military before they became laws. I often call racial capitalist patriarchy a dictatorship of war rape & the history of plantations bears that out, though she didn't necessarily know USAmerican history before joining.
