“Somebody’s Daughter will leave readers gasping for air.” ―Natachi Onwuamaegbu, The Boston Globe
“Sure to be one of the best memoirs of 2021.” ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Gorgeous, profoundly moving, and historically important ― by a terrific writer.” ―Min Jin Lee, author of the New York Times bestseller and National Book Award Finalist Pachinko
“Armed with the insight and lessons from her youth, the author emerged as a bright young college student who learned to love herself for who she was and who she has yet to become.” ―The New York Journal Review of Books
“With a lucidity that is almost a superpower, [Ford] transports us into her singular experience of growing up poor and Black and female in Fort Wayne, Ind.” ―People magazine, Book of the Week
“A thoughtful debut. Ford writes with a flush and sophisticated pen. But the heartbeat of Ford’s firstborn is her ability to pinpoint critical moments on her self-discovering journey, and, like Baldwin and Abdurraqib, find respectable ways to perform and not drown in her suffering.” ―USA Today
