SUMMARY:Books On Tap - Somebody's Daughter: A Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Join us Tuesday\, September 26th at the Oar and Oak restaurant 
 located at 2385 Main St\, Stratford\, CT. We will meet at 7:00pm and then 
 start our discussion at 7:30pm. Please tell all your friends this is so 
 exciting. \n\nWe will be discussing Somebody's Daughter by Ashley C. Ford. 
 Copies are available at the check out desk. Let me know if you have any 
 questions. We look forward to seeing everyone.\n\nBook Synopsis:\n\nThrough 
 poverty\, adolescence\, and a fraught relationship with her mother\, Ashley 
 C. Ford wishes she could turn to her father for hope and encouragement. 
 There are just a few problems: he’s in prison\, and she doesn’t know 
 what he did to end up there. She doesn’t know how to deal with the 
 incessant worries that keep her up at night\, or how to handle the changes 
 in her body that draw unwanted attention from men. In her search for 
 unconditional love\, Ashley begins dating a boy her mother hates. When the 
 relationship turns sour\, he assaults her. Still reeling from the rape\, 
 which she keeps secret from her family\, Ashley desperately searches for 
 meaning in the chaos. Then\, her grandmother reveals the truth about her 
 father’s incarceration . . . and Ashley’s entire world is turned upside 
 down.\n\nSomebody’s Daughter steps into the world of growing up a poor 
 Black girl in Indiana with a family fragmented by incarceration\, exploring 
 how isolating and complex such a childhood can be. As Ashley battles her 
 body and her environment\, she embarks on a powerful journey to find the 
 threads between who she is and what she was born into\, and the complicated 
 familial love that often binds them.
