Author and conference speaker Kidder offers a poignant memoir about growing up in the “average American dysfunctional family.” You’ll laugh, cry—and identify—as she shares her love for an alcoholic, mentally ill father; her mother’s search for a “normal” life; her own longing for success—and an encounter with Christ who “spoiled everything.”
