Dot Girl

By Linda Carney-Goodrich

Dot Girl 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.
