Hey, Kiddo: How I Lost My Mother, Found My Father, and Dealt with Family Addiction
by Jarrett J. Krosoczka
Honest memoir of growing up without your biological mom and dad, being raised by your grandparents, wondering what you missed out on. Jarrett's mom isn't around much, and as he gets older he discovers why--her struggle with addiction means that if she's not in recovery, she's likely either using or in jail. His father has never been in the picture--Jarrett doesn't even know his name. But his grandparents, for all their faults, raise him and give him the gift of art classes. Art changes the path of Jarrett's life, shaping his teenage years and setting him on the path for a career as an illustrator and writer.
