After suffering from years of physical abuse, Selena is finally free from the demons of her past, or at least she thinks she is. The single mother of four daughters, her daily struggle includes making a way out of no way and trying to come to terms with what her life has become. Determined not to follow in her mother’s troubled footsteps, Dara longs for a life of a different caliber, but can’t seem to work past her own issues of identity, her mystery father, and a love that gives her more than she can take. In this soul-stirring piece, mother and daughter attempt to find their way out of the fog-and eventually towards each other.

Not My Mother,
By
This review is from: Curl Inside Herself (Paperback)
Curl Inside Herself by Niya Holland Lloyd is a poignant story of a woman and the effect her choices have made on her oldest daughter, Dara. Selena was a single mother raising Dara alone, after being deserted by Dara's father, when she met her future husband. Dara and her three sisters witness their mother endure what seems to be an endless nightmare of abuse and ridicule by the hands of their father and stepfather, Stephen. As a young adult, Dara does what she has to do to help her mother with her younger sisters, even if it means putting her own life on hold. Watching her daughter, Selena can see her making some of the mistakes she made and tries to show her how worthy she is. Through this give and take, there is constant turmoil, resentment and stress in Selena and Dara's relationship. This book reads as if I am reading about someone that I know, or could know - be it a next door neighbor or a co-worker that is frequently passed in the hallway. The author has an uncanny ability to make her characters seem very real, as if you're in the room with them. As a reader, I felt Dara's emotion as she wrestled with her decisions and with her mother as she watched her daughter grow up with the examples she gave her. I recommend this book to those that enjoy reading about the dynamics of mother/daughter relationships. Reviewed by Lena Willis APOOO BookClub
