Hunger by Roxane Gay
challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced

A powerful, raw & visceral memoir with very difficult subject matter at it's core. Gay is very honest in her experience and that emotion and rage of what happened to her as a child comes off the page. 

It's critical to remember just how much our own childhood experiences and those we were affected by, shape the people we become in adulthood. This is such a difficult read but I appreciate the authors openness in sharing her experience. I hope this story helps those who are in need of a voice.
