book review

T Kira Madden’s debut, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls, shifted my understanding of myself to a degree I’ve never experienced.

I’m polite — I say please and thank you when I should — but I don’t go above and beyond. It was actually something I wanted to specifically work on in 2017 as a self-improvement resolution. Enter Kelly Williams Brown’s new book, Gracious: A Practical Primer on Charm, Tact, and Unsinkable Strength.
