My Reviews
This book felt sensational at best and seemed limited in sincere insight. I felt like any ‘transparency’ was mainly shared because they were already known stories within her circle. I wished for more backstory, as well as a genuine depiction of the (often nonlinear) recovery process. Both these additions would have illuminated the authors mindset and journey in a more comprehensible and relatable way, as well as cultivated a practical process for shifting from a trajectory that is a dark, drug-fueled survival to a life-infused existence. This is my take on the authors voice in the book ‘some crazy things happened and now I am magically better.’
I loved this book which portrayed a female lead (often misunderstood and overlooked, but important and lovely nonetheless) set in the dust bowl era. There is gentle focus on the complexities and significance of a mother-daughter relationship, where each find their own voices via personal and collaborative evolution during a severe time. It speaks of the vitality in resilience and bravery during hardship.
This was a surprisingly fun book where I found investment in multiple characters throughout the story. I enjoyed the writing style—it was an effortless and enjoyable read with a touch of the supernatural.
