A review by poenaestante
Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls by T Kira Madden

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

I'll be honest that I read this book because it is a peek into the life of a family I already know quite well. That said, it still ended up being pretty jawdroppingly shocking. I know it's autobiographical but it just felt like an onslaught of tragedy. Too much bad stuff happened and it didn't feel like much of anyone was redeemed. It's real life, I know, but quite a bummer to read. Not sure what I am supposed to take away from people being so tremendously horrible to each other and themselves. Heart break. I guess the win is T Kira grew up and got a book deal...
