A poignant mother-daughter story about the complex inner lives of women by the critically acclaimed author of Training School for Negro Girls.

In this evocative short piece, Candace worries that her mother, Annie, has reached an emotional breaking point. When her best friend loses her battle with cancer, Annie is acting in uncharacteristic ways, seemingly less concerned than ever about what her friends and neighbors think of her - a troubling development in her daughter’s eyes. But while Candace may think she knows her mother better than anyone, something deeper lingers beneath the surface, and times of hardship have a way of bringing us closer together than ever.

A perfect next listen for fans of Tayari Jones and Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, Starchild is a moving story from a striking literary voice.

The perfect kind of raw and emotional tale that short stories were created for performed wonderfully.

Beautiful and Tragic

This short story celebrates the joy and grief of death, life and the bond between a mother and daughter. I enjoyed it, but rated it 4 stars because I felt it lacked resolution and the first narrator's voice is initially quite stilted.
