With humor and heart, she tells of growing up one of the few Asian-American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother's particular high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food.

Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Resumen del Editor
"Ashley C. Ford brings listeners into her life in this outstanding coming-of-age story.... Listeners will cheer as Ford attends college and weep as she visits her father in prison, and when he is finally released." (AudioFile magazine, Earphones Award winner)
This program is read by the author, and includes a bonus conversation between the author and Clint Smith.
One of the most prominent voices of her generation debuts with an extraordinarily powerful memoir: the story of a childhood defined by the looming absence of her incarcerated father.
Through poverty, adolescence, and a fraught relationship with her mother, Ashley Ford wishes she could turn to her father for hope and encouragement. There are just a few problems: He’s in prison, and she doesn’t know what he did to end up there. She doesn’t know how to deal with the incessant worries that keep her up at night, or how to handle the changes in her body that draw unwanted attention from men. In her search for unconditional love, Ashley begins dating a boy her mother hates. When the relationship turns sour, he assaults her. Still reeling from the rape, which she keeps secret from her family, Ashley desperately searches for meaning in the chaos. Then, her grandmother reveals the truth about her father’s incarceration...and Ashley’s entire world is turned upside down.
Somebody’s Daughter steps into the world of growing up a poor Black girl in Indiana with a family fragmented by incarceration, exploring how isolating and complex such a childhood can be. As Ashley battles her body and her environment, she embarks on a powerful journey to find the threads between who she is and what she was born into, and the complicated familial love that often binds them.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
"Ashley Ford's prose is glass - so clear, sharp and smooth that the reader sees, in vivid focus, her complicated childhood, brilliant mind, and golden heart. The gravity and urgency of Somebody’s Daughter anchored me to my chair and slowed my heartbeat - like no book has since Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. Ashley Ford is a writer for the ages, and Somebody’s Daughter will be a book of the year." (Glennon Doyle, author of number-one New York Times best seller Untamed and founder of Together Rising)
"This remarkable, heart-wrenching story of loss, hardship, and self-acceptance astounds." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
“Ford’s wrenchingly brilliant memoir is truly a classic in the making. The writing is so richly observed and so suffused with love and yearning that I kept forgetting to breathe while reading it.” (John Green, number-one New York Times best-selling author)

Bobi Conn was raised in a remote Kentucky holler in 1980s Appalachia.

An elegiac account of survival despite being born poor, female, and cloistered, Bobi’s testament is one of hope for all vulnerable populations, particularly women and girls caught in the cycle of poverty and abuse.

Historia
In an idyllic Los Angeles neighborhood, where generations enjoy deep roots in old homes, the O’Rourke family fits right in. Miriam and Craig are both artists and their four children carry on the legacy. When their teenage son, Nick, is diagnosed with schizophrenia, a tumultuous decade ensues in which the family careens off the conventional course. Like the 10 Biblical plagues, they are hit by one catastrophe after another: violence, evictions, arrests, a suicide attempt, a near-drowning - even cancer and a brain tumor - play against the backdrop of a wild teenage bacchanal.

Tracy K. Smith has a fairly typical upbringing in suburban California: the youngest in a family of five children raised with limitless affection and a firm belief in God by a stay-at-home mother and an engineer father. But after spending a summer in Alabama at her grandmother's home, she returns to California with a new sense of what it means for her to be Black: from her mother's memories of picking cotton as a girl in her father's field for pennies a bushel to her parents' involvement in the Civil Rights Movement.

Practicing medicine is traumatic: coping with the death of a patient, sharing a life-changing diagnosis, grieving futility in the face of a no-win situation. The emotional burden placed on doctors, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners is profound...and yet their suffering is often displaced, dismissed, or unrecognized. Here, Rachel Jones breaks the silence, daring to imagine a future where every healthcare worker is provided with the right tools to process grief, the space to integrate trauma, and--most importantly--the knowledge that they’re not alone.

Love, forgiveness and healing.
“Although the wind blows terribly here, the moonlight also leaks between the roof planks of this ruined house."
Izumi Shikibu
Ashley penned a transparent story that encapsulated love, belonging, forgiveness, resentment, poverty, incarceration, mental health, generational trauma, and abuse. Through the lens of her earliest memories of her childhood, she recalls her very volatile relationship with her mother and other friends/family members. Although there were memories she did not want to keep Ashley bravely reckoned with puberty and stolen innocence. Her mother was abusive and emotionally unavailable. Her father was unavailable due to his incarceration. Given her fathers' circumstances, the only way her father showed her love was through his letters. Throughout the story, Ashley exhibited a spirit of resilience. She unapologetically owned her truth and ultimately was able to salvage a familial bond. We spend so much time harboring resentment and unforgiveness, which only perpetuates the issues. It's either a tragic situation or in death that regrets consume us. But, forgiveness is a struggle for most of us. Ashley belonged to somebody. She is Somebody's Daughter.

Both grounding and electrifying
I am grateful to the Author, Ashley, who wrote and voiced the words of experiences so often only spoken of behind closed doors in hushed tones. Grateful to her for sharing that deep love and great distance that can be between two imperfect beings, who are related, bound and unknown.

I am her! She is me! So Relatable!
I fell in love with this story. I thought I would feel heavy afterwards and I didn't. Ashley's memoir had me self reflecting and gave me permission to take that deep releasing breath I have been holding inside.

Powerful
OMGoodness. On one hand, I cannot resist declaring how great this book is. Both the writing and narration instantly drew me in, holding me captive until the final word. But how does one say a book is good when faced with such difficult, raw truths revealed by the author? Still, as the author triumphed, I celebrated! The interview at the end with her friend Clint Smith led me to immediately download his book, How The Word Is Passed. I’m glad both authors are such good friends and that they encourage each other in their crafts.

I was riveted
The honesty and vulnerability in display in this book are admirable and heart wrenching. The author’s voice performance of her own words was beautiful- to me. I’m giving it 4 stars overall only because I expected the story would be about her and her father. It’s really about her, and her relationship with her mother. Still compelling, just not what I thought it would be, so I was surprised when it was over.

Thanks for Sharing
A true testament of what we all have learned or encountered in our lives/family. Brought me to tears hearing all the familiarities in your story.

Like listening to a friend’s true story.
I’ve only listened to and told the true stories like this in personal conversations, usually early in a relationship when there’s enough trust to expose who you really are and how you got there. We feel and relate and reflect and learn much about ourselves as we learn about our friend. All that happened for me here. I loved Ashley’s voice as she spoke to me. I definitely recommend.
