Description
Mary Karr's 'Lit' is a memoir about her journey from a troubled upbringing to finding joy and redemption. Born into a hardscrabble Texas childhood, Karr recounts her descent into alcoholism and madness, before an astonishing resurrection. As she navigates the complexities of adulthood, Karr confronts the toxic legacy of her past, including her own struggles with addiction and her search for a sense of belonging. Along the way, she discovers an unlikely faith that brings her both darkness and light. Part memoir, part spiritual journey, 'Lit' is a deeply personal and often humorous account of one woman's quest to find herself in the midst of chaos.
