A focused memoir written by an 18-year-old woman who grew up with an incarcerated parent. Most of the story takes place once he‘s been released. I wished for a little more fleshing out of the story around the specific topic of her dad teaching her to code and building Photo Patch, but it is a memoir, so it‘s technically not necessary. I‘ve honestly never thought about this subject before, so it was eye-opening in a lot of ways.
