Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Growing up in Dorchester, MA during the 1960s and '70s meant living through some of Boston's most turbulent years-racial tension, shifting neighborhoods, and families stretched thin by hardship. In this memoir, the author traces her childhood inside a triple-decker world shaped by addiction, mental illness, poverty, and domestic violence-and the fierce sibling bonds that helped her survive it.At home, a mother of eight did everything she could under impossible circumstances-resourceful, steady, and determined to keep her family afloat. Her children learned early how to look out for one another, raise one another, and find light where they could. Their father, volatile and mentally ill, casts a long shadow over the household, shaping much of what the family had to endure.Threaded through every chapter is the music that held the siblings together. From kitchen-radio singalongs to teenage bedrooms pulsing with rock and roll, music became a safe place-a shared language of humor, escape, and love.Both a family tribute and a raw, unflinching look at growing up in working-class Dorchester, this memoir honors the strength it took to get through those years-and the willingness to look back on them for the lessons they offered.'A clear-eyed memoir of survival in working-class Boston. Readers will find the depiction of Dorchester particularly evocative, though the story's core-of survival through connection-transcends geography.' - Pen Masters Global.…
