- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This genre of “confessional” memoirs are becoming so similar. I listen because it seems so impossible all those things happen to one person/family. And then, when I step away from the book and be more objective, I conclude they probably didn’t. Difficult to sort truth from fiction in this book and the genre as a whole. Memories are “squishy” at best. I’m going to stick to vetted biographies for a while.
