For as long as she could remember, Ashley has put her father on a pedestal. Despite having only vague memories of seeing him face-to-face, she believes he's the only person in the entire world who understands her. She thinks she understands him too. He's sensitive like her, an artist, and maybe even just as afraid of the dark. She's certain that one day they'll be reunited again, and she'll finally feel complete. There are just a few problems: he's in prison, and she doesn't know what he did to end up there. Through poverty, puberty, and a fraught relationship with her mother, Ashley returns to her image of her father for hope and encouragement. 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 finally finds out why her father is in prison. And that's where the story really begins. Somebody's Daughter steps into the world of growing up a poor Black girl, exploring how isolating and complex such a childhood can be. As Ashley battles her body and her environment, she provides a poignant coming-of-age recollection that speaks to finding the threads between who you are and what you were born into, and the complicated familial love that often binds them." -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Ford, Ashley C. 650 0 $a African American women $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American families $v Biography. 650 0 $a Children of prisoners $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Prisoners' families $z United States $v Biography. 650 6 $a Noires ameÌricaines $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a Familles noires ameÌricaines $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a Enfants de prisonniers $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a Familles de prisonniers $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African American families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799152 650 7 $a African American women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799438 650 7 $a Children of prisoners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855496 650 7 $a Prisoners' families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077260 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a African American women $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a African American families $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Children of prisoners $v Biography. $2 sears 655 0 $a Biography. 655 2 $a Autobiography $0 (DNLM)D020493 655 2 $a Biography $0 (DNLM)D019215 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000519 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20220815091000.0 $n 12 $p 1 LP, 1 CD 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A12CCC7E1C9A11ED95E43944153FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
