Description
Sherman Alexie's bond with his mother was extremely complex. She plunged her family into chaos with a drinking habit and hid her violent past. She selflessly cared for strangers, but was often incapable of showing affection to her children. When Alexie's mother passed away, the incongruities that defined his mother shook him to the core. In this deeply moving memoir, he writes about family, love, loss and forgiveness.
