Somebody's Daughter by Ashley C. Ford
4.0
ughhhhhhh. stunning but also gut-wrenching and at times, so hard to get through that I needed a break. but all worth it to get to the end.
The scene in the shed was by far the hardest thing to read in this memoir, and what makes it worse is finding out that Ford’s father is incarcerated for perpetuating THE SAME CRIME. God. I so badly wanted to scream and go back in time to hug young Ashley in her darkest moments, to shield her from everything.
Every moment of this book was engaging and compelling, and I thought it was paced really well. The resolution of the book didn’t feel like it came too quickly or was unearned. I’m really blown away by Ford’s first book, I’m eager to read more of her work, and I’m so in awe of her strength and courage.
