Obviously I'm the worst at coming back to review those pesky RTC placeholders, but I felt the need to say a few words regarding this one. Even though I can't remember any specific quotes this far removed, I will always remember how moving the narrative is, how engaging the writing was, and how necessary, important, and timely this story will continue to be. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up!

Is the viewpoint skewed? Probably a bit. It would be difficult to be objective having lived through things and seeing the result of certain behaviors from different family members. Much of what is discussed is what the author witnessed in her young life. As children, we see things from a different perspective. We remember things that have affected us the most. Sometimes our memories magnify the most significant moments. But that doesn't mean that these things didn't happen or aren't true. It attests to the impact.

It is a bleak, sad account of quite a dysfunctional family. Again - as I see the result of the family, I find it very believable.

"To make that decision, we will have to avoid the trap of placing the burden of our national sins on the shoulders of Donald Trump. We need to look inward. Trump is us. Or better, Trump is you."

"If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected-those, precisely, who need the law's protection the most!-and listens to their testimony. Ask any Mexican, any Puerto Rican, any black man, any poor person-ask the wretched how they fare in the halls of justice, and then you will know, not whether or not the country is just, but whether or not it has any love for justice, or any concept of it."

It would be a way of pretending that it was not women who have, for centuries, been excluded. It would be a way of denying that the problem of gender targets women. That the problem was not about being human, but specifically about being a female human.

For centuries, the world divided human beings into two groups and then proceeded to exclude and oppress one group. It is only fair that the solution acknowledge that."(less)
