Summary

Growing up, writer and podcaster Ashley C. Ford always felt like her family was keeping secrets from her. As she began to work through the traumas she endured in her relationships both in and outside of her home, Ashley uncovered truths about her family as well as herself, which she shares in her debut memoir, Somebody's Daughter. She tells Zibby what her journey to self-acceptance has looked like, where her relationships with her parents each stand today, and how fulfilling it is to realize love can take any shape if we're willing to embrace it.
