LONG LIVE THE TRIBE OF FATHERLESS GIRLS, @tkiramadden

This book is described as equal parts eulogy and love letter, unique within the genre. 

Figuring out who you are as a teenager is tough enough, but when you’re coming into your own biracial identity, navigating your queerness, and dealing with others’ demons at home by yourself, you grow up a little faster than others. Because you have to.

Essayist T Kira Madden’s debut memoir walks us through her childhood in Boca Raton, FL – growing up as a queer, biracial teenager in a place steeped in wealth, privilege, and racism. While Madden may have appeared blessed to others – attending private school, wearing brand names – behind closed doors she witnessed the ways addiction took over her loved ones at home. Thankfully, she found solace and comfort with fatherless girls. 💕
