Compelling but not always believable, though she walks through the fact-checking process she did with her family. Threads she argued -for example how her mother's TBI affected her and the family - seemed to get dropped when no longer convenient to the narrative. I found the full use of the N word especially egregious - if you've truly learned, then you know it's not your word to use, even in a story from your memory. Have enjoyed debating and discussing this with others that have read it, and this is a potential BOB book for next year, so I'm curious about student opinion and feel like the stories will linger in my memory.
