The Girl I Am, Was, and Never Will Be

A Speculative Memoir of Transracial Adoption

2023 • 257 pages

I was like “what is a speculative memoir?” and now I understand–it's both a memoir of her actual life as an adoptee and a fictional account of what she imagines her life might have been with her birth mother, plus some extra narrative twists. Wow. This is the kind of mind-widening book that will stay with me for a long time.
