In linked autobiographical essays, Nelson has reimagined the memoir with her thoroughly original voice, fearless writing, and hypnotic storytelling. At its center, the book is the story of three people: Nelson's mother Susan, her brother Eric, and Jessica herself. These three characters are deeply bound to one another, not just by the usual ties of blood and family, but also by a mother's drive to keep her children safe in the midst of chaos. The book begins with Nelson's childhood in the suburbs of Philadelphia and chronicles her father's addiction and death, her brother's battle with drugs and mental illness, her own efforts to find and maintain stability, and her mother's exquisite power, grief, and self-destruction in the face of such a complicated family dynamic."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.33092 Nelson Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.33092 Nelson Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList
