This is the second book from Ian Morgan Cron I've reviewed. I enjoyed
Chasing Francis so much that I requested this book from the publisher, looking for more from this author.
This memoir was a mixed experience. I was never sure what this book was about, exactly. He writes vividly of his mentally ill, alcoholic father, the devoted Nanny who cared for him, and the ins and outs of a very Catholic childhood. But through it, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to make of this narrative, or where it was leading.
The brighter spots came, as they did in his previous work, from unexpected nuggets of wisdom that of pop out of the story and grab you. Those make this book a worthwhile read. (Also, I think male readers might be more the target audience.)
*I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
