4.3

/ 5

Linda I. Meyers's debut memoir, published by She Writes Press on June 5, 2018, traces her path from a chaotic Brooklyn childhood—shaped by a mobster-adjacent father, a suicidal mother, and the restrictive culture of the 1940s and '50s—to her eventual life as a psychologist and psychoanalyst. Structured as a series of standalone essays, the book excavates multigenerational family dysfunction with what Kirkus Reviews calls "edgy, masterful prose" and earns its place as a frank, humor-laced account of emancipation and self-realization.
