Shadow Daughter: A Memoir of Estrangement by Harriet Brown
4.0
I picked up this book off the library shelf without knowing anything beforehand. I've known what estrangement is, but I've never had to go through the process myself (thankfully), and reading this memoir was really informative on the different ways estrangement can look.
I really enjoyed how this memoir was laid out; felt like the stages of grief were each addressed in each section of the book, and concepts such as forgiveness and reconciliation (and more) were dissected and discussed in much more depth; I've known those aforementioned words before, but I have never truly thought what it means to forgive someone, so breaking down those concepts into more tangible definitions and actions were fascinating to me.
Would recommend.
