American Daughter is a gorgeously written but vulnerable account of a young Stephanie growing up in a world that looks nothing like the American Dream we're all promised--no white picket fence or parents to keep her safe.

I loved this story because of its optimism and Stephanie's unshakeable belief that she could have a different life than the one she'd born into. Her story resonates with resilience and bravery and as a teacher, it explained to me the reasons some of my students are so quick to be in serious relationships: They are creating love and building a family for themselves. A beautiful memoir told by an incredible woman who has absolutely created the life of her dreams (Google her ASAP to see how!)
The sharp and surprising true story of a woman who finally sets out to understand her past, and the mother she had one day hoped to forget. Full of unexpected twists and unbelievable revelations, American Daughter is an immersive memoir that will have you on the edge of your seat to the very last page.

The narrator for the Audible version is exceptional, making each character jump off the page and straight into my heart--and my wine glass! Grab several copies and your best girlfriends and gather to read this wonderful novel by JJ Elliott! It also won TWO Zibby Awards (IYKYK!), so that's an awesome seal of approval as well!
