“In the tradition of Bastard out of Carolina and The Glass Castle, Kimball Pier’s memoir recounts a childhood of dualities—privilege and poverty, health and insanity, love and pain. The child of a chronically ill mother and a mostly absent father, Kimball’s stories invite the reader to feel right alongside her. You will be surprised at her ingenuity and touched by her ability to survive, and keep loving.”
