Editorial Book Review:

By Solange Roe


After finishing Daddy Throws Me In The Air: Remembering Childhood, I was deeply moved by the author's candid account of the challenges and triumphs that marked her childhood and, eventually, her adulthood. The book's power lies in its unadulterated honesty—a candid look at the difficult events of growing up and the emotional scars they leave. What interested me most about the author was how she showed how strong the human spirit is by finding light in the worst situations.


From the very first pages, I was drawn into the author's personal narrative. Her childhood, filled with hardship, was described in such vivid detail that I couldn’t help but empathize with her pain and confusion. However, what really set this work apart was the author's shift from victim to winner. The memoir is more than just a story of pain; it is also a roadmap to healing. The book is a light of hope for anyone dealing with the aftereffects of childhood trauma, as it explores forgiveness, self-love, and letting go of old scars. I started thinking a lot about my life and how my past experiences shaped who I am now.


I also appreciated how the author balanced the heavier themes with moments of lightness and humor. This book could have easily been all-consuming in its heaviness, but the author’s wit and playful prose offered a much-needed reprieve. It gave the reading experience a more intimate feel, akin to speaking with a close friend.


The self-help aspect of the book was incredibly powerful. It wasn't just about telling a story—it was about offering a roadmap for healing. The exercises and reflections provided helped me reexamine my own life and gave me practical tools to start healing old wounds. It's uncommon to come across a book that so powerfully blends a moving biography with useful self-help.


In conclusion, Daddy Throws Me In The Air: Remembering Childhood is more than just a memoir. It’s a transformative journey that shows how, despite the scars of our past, we have the power to rewrite our stories and live a life of peace and joy. This book is a must-read for anyone on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
