Initially, I thought "these seem like stories that I have already read." When I went deeper, I began to understand the complexity of her story. I feel weird about rating memoirs because it is someone's life. I think that I will always feel a bit unease and I think that is something that has been pass down in my DNA from years of oppression from white people....I say this to say, I think I will always feel a bit uneased when white people talk about their experiences with racism. I wish I could explain what I mean more but I can't so I will leave it at that.

Throughout this book Glennon's views on how we see ourselves, being careful about the words we use to others are important. She covered several topics of her womanhood and parenthood. There are many quotable moments in this book that had me clapping my hands and grabbing my pearls.
