Reviews
"A raw and intimate exploration of addiction, mothers and daughters, and families chosen and received. From childhood on, Brogan searches for meaning and connection, in a prose that's lyrical, inventive, and expansive. A captivating and gorgeous debut." -- Vanessa Hua, author of Forbidden City "Brogan is a fearless and intuitive storyteller, spinning the world's harshest truths into golden, beautiful sentences." -- Chelsea Bieker, author of Madwoman "Riveting, harrowing, and deeply insightful, Karleigh Brogan's Holding is a memoir not just of addiction and mother hunger, but of an endlessly searching heart. It speaks to the opioid crisis, yes, but really it speaks to what must be soothed in all of us. I gulped this beautiful book down and learned so much from it." -- Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, author of The Fact of a Body "In Holding , Karleigh Frisbie Brogan has transmuted her gauntlet into ample truth and wisdom and did it with high style and prose that reads like a song. This book is a testament to human strength and the hard, hard day-by-day work of besting an albatross." -- Mitchell S. Jackson, author of Survival Math: Note on an All-American Family

Synopsis
A stunning debut memoir about addiction, self-discovery, and the relationships between mothers and daughters, from an exciting new literary talent Brogan "[spins] the world's harshest truths into golden, beautiful sentences" reminiscent of the powerful writing in Wild and In the Dream House (Chelsea Bieker, author of Madwoman ) Featuring electric, immersive prose and universal insights about human relationships--especially between adult daughters and mothers--this unflinching and deeply moving excavation of her own history and addiction recovery is equally revealing about the American experience in our time. At age 20, Karleigh Brogan and her boyfriend, Dale, moved into his parents' home. The young couple hid their heroin addiction and promised they would only be there temporarily. What started as a two-week stopgap became two years of habitation. Karleigh and Dale's mother, Glorianne, developed a complex relationship that was both toxic and tender. Glorianne became a stand-in for Karleigh's mother, whose affection and trust Karleigh had always longed for. Simultaneously, Glorianne, an adoptee, searched for the birth mother she never knew. In Holding , Karleigh Brogan brings the reader into her life before, during, and after her time with Dale and his parents, following the road that led from her endless lies to her family and herself, along the long, crooked, path to breaking the chains of her addiction so she could dream again of achieving the life--and the relationship with her own mother--she longed for., Featuring electric, immersive prose and universal insights about human relationships - especially between adult daughters and mothers - this unflinching and deeply moving excavation of her own history and addiction recovery is equally revealing about the American experience in our time.

- v***v (2097)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.How to chalk talk, by Harlan Tarbell (Nr. 197064259889)
