"Girlchild"

I was listening to NPR's Fresh Air on my way home from work Thursday night and they had a review of this book. It sounds very, very good. Has anyone here read it?

It sounds like the kind of book I'd like.

and at first thought I'd read it, but by the end of the review decided it wasn't for me.

I do love hearing or reading reviews, because they can be enormously useful.
