1. Somebody's Daughter
"Somebody's Daughter" is a powerful memoir that delves into the complexities of family, identity, and forgiveness. The author recounts her experience growing up as a black girl in Indiana, grappling with the absence of her incarcerated father and the difficult relationship with her mother. As she navigates the challenges of her youth, including poverty, sexual assault, and the search for her own voice, she also embarks on a journey of self-discovery that leads her to confront the truths about her father's imprisonment and the impact it has had on her life. The narrative is a poignant exploration of the intersections of race, gender, and the criminal justice system, as well as a daughter's longing for connection and understanding within her own family.
