Dot Girl

<p><em>Dot Girl </em>is a memoir written in verse with technicolor story bursting from the most beautifully wrought bare-knuckle lines. With courageous truth-telling (and fierce humor!) Linda Carney-Goodrich shares her personal roadmap from childhood poverty and family trauma to remembrance mourning and reconnection reminding us that it is more than possible to emerge whole. Traipse alongside her in stealthy solidarity through the darkened dirty streets of pre-gentrification Boston to the smashed-beer-bottle sands of Dorchester Bay and ultimately to the imagined horizons of a girl dying to be free.</p><p>- <strong>Michael Patrick MacDonald</strong> author of <em>All Souls: A Family Story from Southie</em></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
