Raw, unfiltered, and deeply authentic, this powerful memoir explores the depths of generational trauma and the resilience it takes to break free from cycles of abuse.
Young Andrea lives in a home with her mother and stepfather, who inflicts unspeakable harm on herself and her two sisters. Her mother, unfortunately, perpetuates the abuse.
As Andrea reflects on this harsh upbringing through vivid and unflinching storytelling, she navigates her early trials-marked by survival in a household fraught with physical, emotional, and sexual abuse-and begins a startlingly positive transformation that redefines herself beyond the pain she endured.
Along the way, readers will meet two specifically influential characters that shape Andrea's understanding of strength, vulnerability, and the haunting ties of familial bonds: her older sister Gloria Dean Wright, who shoulders the role of protector and caregiver, and her father, William Robert Wright (AKA "Fat"), a figure both revered and absent due to the complexities of custody battles and family division.
At its base, Three Girls, The Daughters of Fatback and the Okra Thief embraces vulnerability and truth-telling, ensuring authenticity shines through-even (especially) when the truths are neither pretty nor attractive.
Author Andrea hopes that her memoir finds the hands of anyone who has ever felt unseen, unloved, or unsupported by their family and inspires them to reclaim their identity, embrace their truth, and find strength in their personal healing journeys.
