I don’t really know how to feel about this book. I think it’s important to read and it is certainly heartbreaking. Hearing the memoir of a mixed race women who has lost her mother to domestic homicide definitely affected me as a reader. My only problem with it is it felt sort of stale and sometimes too wordy. It just didn’t keep my interest that much. It’s a short read but had it been longer, I’m not sure I would have finished it, truthfully.
