INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERNBCC John Leonard Prize FinalistIndie Bestseller\u201cThis is a book people will be talking about forever.\u201d \u2014Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed\u201cFord\u2019s wrenchingly brilliant memoir is truly a classic in the making. The writing is so richly observed and so suffused with love and yearning that I kept forgetting to breathe while reading it.\u201d \u2014John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling authorOne of the most prominent voices of her generation debuts with an extraordinarily powerful memoir: the story of a childhood defined by the looming absence of her incarcerated father.Through poverty, adolescence, and a fraught relationship with her mother, Ashley C. Ford wishes she could turn to her father for hope and encouragement. There are just a few problems: he\u2019s in prison, and she doesn\u2019t know what he did to end up there. She doesn\u2019t know how to deal with the incessant worries that keep her up at night, or how to handle the changes in her body that draw unwanted attention from men. 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 desperately searches for meaning in the chaos. Then, her grandmother reveals the truth about her father\u2019s incarceration . . . and Ashley\u2019s entire world is turned upside down.Somebody\u2019s Daughter steps into the world of growing up a poor Black girl in Indiana with a family fragmented by incarceration, exploring how isolating and complex such a childhood can be. As Ashley battles her body and her environment, she embarks on a powerful journey to find the threads between who she is and what she was born into, and the complicated familial love that often binds them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
