I love a book that deviates from a traditional reading experience and this book was just that! In “Black Child to Black Woman”, you follow Tara finding her old diary that chronicles her life from being a 9 year old child to a grown adult with her own child. I really enjoyed seeing her voice grow and develop over time as she had more experiences and watching as her understanding of her familial relationships shifted as time went on. 

There were some parts I was confused about, because it seemed that some of the journal entries included present day knowledge which leads me to believe she is actively inserting her thoughts as she was reading. Nonetheless, it was a fairly quick read that touched on some interesting relationship dynamics, whether they be familial or romantic.
