Reading: Betty by Tiffany McDaniel 

Why did you want to read this? This book touched me in so many ways, it’s brutal, beautiful and poetic all at once. It’s a coming-of-age story based on true events and different to anything I have ever read. I loved how Betty’s dad with his rich Cherokee history used his knowledge of nature and spirituality to sooth her. Betty will always hold a special place in my heart. 

How did you record yourself? Curled up on my bed with lots of pillows, dimmed lights and a cup of tea.
