Absolutely no clue who Rex Chapman was, and forgot how this landed on my radar (just saw @Megabooks ‘ review and tag so that‘s definitely it!) but what a pleasant surprise! Rex is just fabulous, though he‘s been through it! A UK basketball legend who made it to the NBA after racism soured his experience with Kentucky. A riches to rags story: an opioid addiction and hitting rock bottom. But he found a way out and has a big presence on X.

Megabooks It‘s so funny…he came up with one of Dad‘s aides, who is a guy the same age as Rex, and I guess knew him as a teen. He called Rex “spoiled”. 😂😂 I wonder if there‘s still a giant photo of him in my high school gym?? 4h

Heretic: A Memoir | Jeanna Kadlec

Listened to Heretic on audio while taking walks over the last week often finding myself at a cafe to scribble in my journal & gather my thoughts as much of this hit very close to home coming from a similar background and subsequently leaving the evangelical church when I was in my early thirties. It's a lot to unpack; even a decade later, I still find myself unpacking more and more. I appreciated hearing someone else's experience and perspective.

I started this audiobook yesterday and could not stop! Imagine being a preschooler and helping your Dad with his drug business…Imagine being raised by two parents who met in a psych ward…This and more (much more) is what Dana Trent had to endure growing up and well into her adult years.

One of the best memoirs I‘ve read!

4.5⭐️ My heart broke at the end of this book, but despite that, I really enjoyed it. Ms. Trump pulls no punches about her life within the Trump family and really digs into what her father‘s family was and is like. I hope at some point she can find people who truly love and appreciate her. #2025 #nonfiction #memior #autobiography #trumpfamily

I‘m only a month late 😆 but I finally finished this book for #SheSaid - I really enjoyed it. It took awhile for me to get into it but once I got to the halfway mark I finished it in one sitting. I plan on checking out her other memoir, In My Own Moccasins. Thanks for organizing @Riveted_Reader_Melissa !

Riveted_Reader_Melissa You‘re welcome, I‘m glad you enjoyed it 1mo

Becoming a Matriarch | Helen Knott

This powerful book shows three generations of women, Knott being the youngest, who claim space and support those around them while suffering from various kinds of racial, systemic, and personal abuse. Knott is going to find a new way with guidance from her Indigenous teachers and mentors. Throughout various challenges she navigates to a place where she takes joy in those around her, especially the women.
