A Memoir
The Memoir of the Crucible
A memoir written the way memory actually works, unflinching, circling back, refusing to look away. This is what it costs to tell the truth about the people who raised you.
“Some families keep their history in photo albums. This one kept it nailed to the wall. The Memoir of the Crucible is an unflinching account of growing up inside a house where love and harm were never easy to tell apart, written by a daughter who finally decided to tell it exactly as it happened.”
