Annotation |
A young African American tells in unsparing detail her struggle to overcome a legacy of abuse. Born in 1961 when her mother was only thirteen, the author was reared by her grandmother and stepgrand-father, Daddy, who called her Gal. While enjoying an honorable naval career, Daddy was a sadistic monster who beat Gal's grandmother to death and then savagely abused Gal and her six young aunts left in his care. Strong language and violence. Bestseller.
