Book Rating

While it is excellent work, this is not really an entertainment read. Ward lays out so much in story far more powerfully than any essay on American race relations, trauma, privilege, and rural southern life ever could. It was chilling, moving, eyeopening for me. I definitely want to read Ward's other books.

The audiobook is very well done as well, read by a talented cast.

A very lovely coming of age story, centering on Dottie, a child of divorced parents. The story is told in a series of nearly 100 vignettes, each of which is filled with wit and vulnerability. During the course of the novel, Dottie struggles with moving, poverty, an alcoholic stepfather, questioning her sexuality, race relations, playing sports, and her relationship with her mother, half-brother, and stepsister. Her character exhibits amazing grace and presence of mind as she continually questions the world around her.
