Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls by T Kira Madden
emotional
reflective

4.0
This was a really interesting memoir. Madden reflects on her identity, her childhood and the instability of her family life in such a raw and honest way. She tells her story through essays and fragments rather than a linear narrative. I sometimes wasn't completely sure where a chapter was going but the writing is fantastic and always kept me hooked. While I tend to prefer memoirs with a more traditionally cohesive narrative, the conclusion of this was really powerful and brought the rest of it together for me.
