About this listen
BlindSided tells the story of Lexi Archer, an eighteen-year-old woman who wakes up in a hospital bed, handcuffed to the rail, and realizes she doesn't remember what happened the night before.
After being released from the hospital, Lexi's transferred to the Milwaukee County Jail, where she's informed about her pending charges for first-degree murder.
Intent on proving she's innocent, Lexi places a phone call to her stepsister asking for her help. As Lexi gets closer to the truth, she unravels ugly secrets about her dead mother that will change her life forever.
Reviews
"Ashton does a good job in normalizing Black adolescents seeking help whether from a professional, the police or family.
To fully understand the story of Lexi, one would have to understand the hidden traumas that black families experience often at the hands of other family members. And how, talking about bad things that happened in the family was forbidden or considered disrespectful...It is a storyline that is really seen or told: a young Black girl recognizing her own mental health issues and wanting to get help seeking help but unstable family members try to prevent this out of spite, jealousy, and their own mental health issues. In the case of Lexi, this ended in even more trauma, and leaves her with a long road ahead in recovery." Bejaka Phoenix via NetGalley
"Lexi is very likable but everyone else in this book let her down. I wanted to take Lexi into my imperfect but safe house and show her what a family should be, how unconditional love works, and give her the high school years that she deserves.
There was nothing easy about this book. Blindsided is a book with many triggers, but it is a real book. This is the life many live. Mental health is a real thing and Lexi is a great example of someone who needed more support than she was offered." Blogger at A Soccer Mom's Book Blog
