4.0 out of 5 stars
A rare memoir that is not self-indulgent or self-pitying,
By wright@acad.admin.unt.edu (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweet Mystery: A Southern Memoir of Family Alcoholism, Mental Illness, and Recovery (Paperback)
So many memoirs by survivors of extremely disfunctional families are simply impossible to read because of the author's overwhelming desire to wallow in self-pity. This memoir is insightful and clear, hiding nothing, but the tone is never pitiful. This would be a great book to use in a classroom learning about memoir, and also a good book for therapists to use with patients learning how to deal with their own "bad deals" as children. I usually read a book and pass it along to my mother and sister; but I'm keeping this one and buying separate copies for each of them.
