5/5 Book Review: Memorial Drive by Natasha Trethewey • If there has ever been a book that made you supremely sad, sick, depressed, and felt the urge to bawl your eyes out all at the same time, this is that book. • "They could have saved her." The haunting words Trethewey writes reverberates in my mind as I type this review. • This book can be triggering for some people who have experienced domestic violence. Natasha Trethewey's use of the English language to share her pain, leaves you breathless, haunted, damned, depressed, and volatile. From the start of this book I felt like I was in her head or like in a dream... seeing her thoughts compose before my very eyes. She takes you along this painful journey of suppressed memories, and you feel the weight of her pain on your chest the whole time. This gripping, eerie memoir tells of the author's life leading up to the murder of her mother's death, by the hands of her former stepfather. • This memoir is different than what I'd normally see in memoirs, as this isn't a retelling of the author's whole life, but a certain timeframe from her life. The events that led to the death of her mother. Trethewey is reliving this painful event in order to remember her mother in such a way as to piece together what happened, and to heal. She is hoping to reveal what caused this event to come about? What were the signs? Was she able to do something about it? Was this preventable? Could her mother still be alive today if...? • The book shines a light on the mental illness of those who have suffered PTSD, especially Black men who served in Vietnam or other traumatic life events, who have been left untreated, and how the state can be slow to respond to issues such as this in the Black community. I don't know if the outcome would have been different if Natasha Trethewey's mom would have been white. Would they have believed her sooner, without having to go the extra 3 steps to collect more data? Would the police officer had left even though they were assigned to stay there?
