Not worth it
Reviewed: 04-21-23
Struggled to finish this one. The story seemed to drag on and the narration was by far one of, of not,the worst. The narrators for Slone and Asa were terrible. I skipped ahead in this book more than any other and a lot had to do with not being able to stomach their voices.

Story
At the age of 27, Sarah Valentine discovered that she was not, in fact, the White girl she had always believed herself to be. She learned the truth of her paternity: that her father was a Black man. And she learned the truth about her own identity: mixed race. And so Sarah began the difficult and absorbing journey of changing her identity from White to Black. In this memoir, Sarah details the story of the discovery of her identity, how she overcame depression to come to terms with this identity, and, perhaps most importantly, asks: why?

Not as good as interesting as I'd anticipated...

With my too being biracial (blk/wht), ethnically ambiguous, with a mother that raised me to tell "half truths" when asked my ethnicity, along with family that didn't hold their tongue w/regards to their bigotry/bias towards blacks as well as much of those I went to school with, also with having white half siblings that looked nothing like me, in addition to not knowing my father (in my case mine passed away shortly after my birth) and even had my own 'coming out' of sorts (much to the chagrin of some family members)...there were many relatable parts in her book. W/that being said, I wholeheartedly understand why she didn't know/ask until her twenties and it pains me to see the backlash she has experienced from the naysayers that can't remotely begin to relate let alone understand her not knowing. Anyway...my review.
Again, it was relatable in ways and those are the parts that really kept my attention. However, too much detail was given when not relevant to anything. Unfortunately, that was frequent. The narrator...well, she made it difficult to stay focused with her monotone reading, especially with some of her pronunciation of words.

Solidification
Reviewed: 02-12-18
The book solidifies what we already know and/or suspect of the circus that is currently presiding over our country. The vivid details just make our current administration all the more unsettlingly, to say the least. Though Bannon isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, he is a dangerous one if not properly disposed of. He is poison to our politics and country. This book drives that point home. (May we, as a country, never make such a mistake again. )
