Crazy Brave: A Memoir by Joy Harjo

challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

Joy Harjo writes beautifully, and this memoir is an engaging and accessible read. She doesn’t hold back from describing the abuse and trauma she experienced, so readers should be conscious that some heavy themes discussed in this story. This book has an important message about resilience and trusting yourself. I also appreciated how Joy’s story reflected her identity as an indigenous woman. She interwove her indigenous beliefs and perspective into her writing in a way that I haven’t seen done before.
