Black and Blue: a memoir of racism and resilience by Veronica Gorrie

3.5
This is an impassioned memoir: I am a little in awe at how Gorrie can write look unflinchingly at her trauma and retell it. There is much content here which can be confronting: both through the violence and abandonment in her childhood and in what she witnessed and experienced in her years in the cops. Gorrie's telling is matter of fact, even when described her own misery, anger and her strength, which shines through in spades.
