Somebody's Daughter: A Memoir by Ashley C. Ford

challenging dark emotional funny reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

 - I've been following Ford's writing online for many years, so I knew this book would be good. If you need further proof, though, I listened to the entire audiobook while stuck in traffic for ten hours and was riveted the whole time.
- SOMEBODY'S DAUGHTER is an exploration of not only growing up and finding yourself, but finding your parents, too - the good and the bad parts of them. It's a book about loving difficult people, and holding conflicting parts of yourself and your loved ones at the same time.
- One thing that really stuck out to me is the way Ford illustrates how confusing childhood can be, when you're often punished for breaking rules you didn't know existed and the adults don't give any further explanation.
