Description
Ariel Leve's memoir is a candid and sensitive account of her turbulent childhood, growing up without boundaries as the only child of an unstable poet mother and a largely absent father. Leve recounts the chaotic world she endured, where conditional love was replaced by uncontrolled rages and extreme outpourings of affection. She learned to become her own parent, taking care of herself and her mother's needs, but this coping mechanism later incapacitated her as an adult. In this memoir, Leve explores how the consequences of her childhood continue to impact her life, until she finds refuge in a new relationship with children, where caring for them brings clarity about what was missing.
