This memoir is a stunningly poetic, deeply personal story of a girl growing under an abusive, controlling Rastafarian father. Themes within her life are painfully relatable to my own experience in a high control religion. Themes of sexism, hating your growing feminine body, and the pressure of perfection under the angry gaze of a religious patriarch… I found this book to be both triggering, and incredibly healing. I also realized how woefully ignorant I am of the history of Rastafari, and appreciated how the author wrote about it with both forgiveness, and deep hurt. A masterpiece of a memoir.
