Somebody's Daughter by Ashley C. Ford

challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

3.0

Beautifully written, this memoir weaves through Ford's life and the challenges of reconciling the love she has for her incarcerated father with the violence he perpetrated, a violence that herself is undone by several times. The story lacks resolution, perhaps because Ford's life is not a tightly knit narrative but an actual life. I was not as moved as others have been through the reading, but then again, my own experiences do not resonate as strongly with that of Ford's.
