#41 Southern Discomfort by Tena ClarkFor readers of beloved memoirs like Educated and The Glass Castle, a riveting and profoundly moving memoir set in rural Mississippi during the Civil Rights era about a white girl coming of age in a repressive society and the woman who gave her the strength to forge her own path—the black nanny who cared for her.
The summary for this book was deceptive. It was a story about a girl with a chaotic upbringing. I loved "Educated" and "The Glass Castle" which focused more on the authors and how they escaped/dealt with such chaos. This book focused more on the author's parents, who had lots of issues. While the author is able to forgive her parents for their past deeds, I would've liked to have read more about that emotional journey.
