Description: Somebody's Daughter by Ashley C. Ford Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description One of the most prominent voices of her generation debuts with an extraordinarily powerful memoir: the story of a childhood defined by the ever looming absence of her incarcerated father and the path we must take to both honour and overcome our origins. Publisher Description Ashley Fords prose is glass: so clear, sharp and smooth that the reader sees, in vivid focus, her complicated childhood, brilliant mind, and golden heart. The gravity and urgency of Somebodys Daughter anchored me to my chair and slowed my heartbeat, like no book has since Toni Morrisons The Bluest Eye. - Glennon Doyle, author of UntamedFor as long as she could remember, Ashley has put her father on a pedestal. Despite having only vague memories of seeing him face-to-face, she believes hes the only person in the entire world who understands her. She thinks she understands him too. Hes sensitive like her, an artist, and maybe even just as afraid of the dark. Shes certain that one day theyll be reunited again, and shell finally feel complete. There are just a few problems: hes in prison, and she doesnt know w hat he did to end up there.Through poverty, puberty, and a fraught relationship with her mother, Ashley returns to her image of her father for hope and encouragement. In her search for unconditional love, Ashley begins dating a boy her mother hates; when the relationship turns sour, he assaults her. Still reeling from the rape, which she keeps secret from her family, Ashley finally finds out why her father is in prison. And thats where the story really begins.Somebodys Daughter steps into the world of growing up a poor Black girl in America, exploring how isolating and complex such a childhood can be. As Ashley battles her body and her environment, she provides a poignant coming-of-age recollection that speaks to finding the threads between who you are and what you were born into, and the complicated familial love that often binds them.
