ketchashum 's review for:
A Life Turned Upside Down: My Dad's an Alcoholic
by Mariko Kikuchi
challenging
dark
emotional
inspiring
reflective
sad
fast-paced
A heartbreaking story that shows how the cycles and effects of alcohol addiction can impact a child all the way into adulthood.
Kikuchi reveals so much of what she went through and her inner turmoil in such an open and vulnerable way that it's both harrowing and inspiring.
Beyond this she also shows how complicated a relationship with a toxic parent can be, particularly later in life when emotions range from anger to apathy to guilt.
Wherever she is on her healing journey today, I hope it's at a good place.
