Aftershocks: A Memoir

內容簡介

內容簡介 At other times, she has been overwhelmed by her identities. Is she European, African, American? All, or none of the above? At no point does this fractured sense of self make her feel more unmoored than when her father dies. This cataclysmic event is compounded by the bombshell secret her stepmother reveals after his passing, a secret rife with shaming innuendo. What follows are episodes of confusion, sorrow, and depression as the pressure to hold herself and her siblings together gives way to what Nadia describes as fault lines in her own self. Aftershocks is the way she hauled herself out of the wreckage of her life’s perpetual quaking, the means by which she finally came to understand that the only ground firm enough to count on was the one she wrote into existence.
