Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 24, 2013
This book is a page-turner, reading like fiction:  conflict, characters, a strong plot-line. Many of the scenes center on boyfriends, conflict in the love relationship, finally breaking up. And there is much conflict in the family as the author tries again to see things clearly and accept her past. But she is dealing with an alcoholic mother, an absent father, a suicidal brother. Fortunately, she has close girlfriends and a competent therapist who help her find her way through this tangled insanity, and  finally learns to stop her shouting and crying as she comes to a quiet acceptance and love of self.
