From Here to the Great Unknown by Lisa Marie Presley
3.5
dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

If ever you needed a primary source that proves the weight of intergenerational trauma (but with a hopeful ending) this is the one. Less a chronological memoir than dialogue of reflections, so go in expecting a lot of naval-gazing with moments of painful self-awareness that provide a complicated, nuanced exploration of addiction, parentification, and abandonment.
