But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, spanning from 1960s Hawai'i to the present-day struggle of a young woman mourning the loss of a father while unearthing truths that reframe her reality, \u003ci\u003eLong Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls\u003c\/i\u003e is equal parts eulogy and love letter.
