Unabridged Audiobook
Wow, just wow. This is truly a must read. Asha tackles colorism with the Black Race, abandonment, rape, incest, jealously, secrets and finding Home. Tilla the protagonist, is a fearless Jamaican born girl who now lives in Canada. Her and her sister Mia went to the yard, (countryside of Jamaica) for the summer to spend time with their father. Upon arriving they aren't greeting with the love they should. Tilla sees wayyy too much while on the island, I cried and smiled throughout this book. My heart smiled when she confronted her evil aunts, cousin, uncle, and most of all her "father". I cringed every time they referred to her father as Mass Tyson short for Master Tyson. Asha gave us an upfront view of the culture and daily country life of Jamaicans. I was sad it ended.... when can we get more Asha Bromfield. #Book31of2021 #bookworm #whatsnext
At first, I wasn’t sure if this book was for me since I kept feeling extremely triggered. But therapy kicked in and told me to dig deep in my spirit and find out why. Thankfully, I took heed because I learned so much while having my deep set wounds imbued with every new chapter. The story was like an art therapy session. The picture was so beautifully painted of the hurt/pain, resilience, and love of a beautiful culture. I feel truly inspired.
