#WhiteOleander by #JanetFitch is a coming-of-age story about Astrid, the daughter of a murderess, as she navigates life in dif. foster homes. When I read this (20?), I was broke & living w/ a fancy grandmother who resented me (the daughter of the ⚫🐑). I *immediately* felt seen.🧵→ (1/3) #Bookvember

Let’s try this. Give me the opening line of a book, but add “and then the dragons arrived.” Fire breathing dragons depicted over a city with dark cloudy skies.
THE SANTA ANAS blew in hot from the desert, shriveling the last of the spring grass into whiskers of pale straw. And then the dragons arrived. #WhiteOleander @janetfitch.bsky.social

Resorting back to a favorite because the 8 other books I tried reading weren't keeping my interest. Here's to Round 4 with Ingrid and Astrid. #booksky #whiteoleander #janetfitch
i wanna ask the foster mom and liam's mom from #thefosters the same question
how many little girls does your boyfriend/son have to groom and assault before you realize he's the problem here?
#whiteoleander
honestly i hate a lot of the women in this book.
you find out your boyfriend is a pedophile that's been fucking your foster daughter and instead of kicking him out you shoot your foster daughter knowing you'd go to jail and your other foster kids would be taken from you
#whiteoleander
idk if social services would've listened to ingrid considering she was in prison but if she was the good mother she thought she was she'd have tried to tell someone at social services about the 50 year old man fucking her 14-year-old daugher
