While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence by Meg Kissinger
5.0
Raw, heart wrenching, but witty and funny at times. This memoir tackles hard subjects as Kissinger reveals all about her family plagued with mental illness in a time of limited understanding and avoidance of speaking out.
She discusses her parents and siblings in such an honest way, with both the perspective of her younger self and her more compassionate and understanding present self. It was hard to read about, but also healing in a way. It gave me a lot of perspective about my own family growing up.
5/5 stars
