But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, spanning from 1960s Hawai'i to the present-day struggle of a young woman mourning the loss of a father while unearthing truths that reframe her reality, \u003ci\u003eLong Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls\u003c\/i\u003e is equal parts eulogy and love letter. It's a story about trauma and forgiveness, about families of blood and affinity, both lost and found, unmade and rebuilt, crooked and beautiful. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of the Most Anticipated Books of the Year: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly, Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, The Millions, Nylon, The Rumpus, Electric Literature, Lit Hub, Refinery29, \u003c\/i\u003eand many more\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e T.
