Johnny's Girl: A Daughter's Memoir of Growing Up I by Kim Rich

yourstrulyanabelle's review

3.5

daughter to misfit outlaws, kim recounts, investigates, and describes her childhood, the life of her parents, and alaska in the 60s. story drags out a bit towards the end, but Rich's writing is brilliant. overall a pretty introspective and interesting read.

begins with : '“You raise them just so they can grow up to hate you.” That wasn't true; I loved my father, but for a long time, there just hadn't been much about him I liked.” — ends with : “I have never stopped loving my father; now I'm beginning to like Johnny Rich”.

This memoir was written by a friend of my mom's, who remembers going over to Kim Rich's house and witnessing some of the goings on. I read it a long time ago, but I remember it was a very interesting read.
