Description
Half a Life: A Memoir is an unflinchingly honest and moving account of one woman's journey to self-discovery.
The author recounts her unconventional childhood, marked by poverty, instability, and a father who struggled with mental health issues. As she navigated this challenging environment, she developed resourcefulness and resilience, finding ways to support herself and her family through various means.
This bold and unsentimental portrait of the artist as a young woman from a troubled background offers a powerful exploration of identity, survival, and the complexities of human relationships.
