Description

Set in the bucolic, yet brutal South of his youth, My Mother's House is a memoir by novelist David Armand. It recounts the young author's early memories of being born to a schizophrenic mother, then given up for adoption, only to be raised in a home with an alcoholic and abusive step-father. In this sharply-remembered portrait of the people and places that shaped him, Armand paints his seemingly negative experiences with a sympathetic and understanding brush. As the reader follows Armand through his childhood and later into adult life--when he is reunited with his mother after she makes a failed suicide attempt--a surprisingly new world of hope and possibility is rendered, despite the overwhelming challenges of this reunion.

Upon opening and reading the prologue of My Mother's House I was immediately awe struck by Armand’s honest account of mental illness and the grasp it has on his mother. As I continued to read this memoir in it's entirety the day it arrived, I found myself feeling what Armand felt growing up, as he so beautifully retells his story of a challenged life full of pain, disappointment and fear; as those who were supposed to be his caregivers were more often those in need of care. But what may be most poignant about this memoir is the message we are left with: that there is a striking need for assistance to those who suffer from mental illness, and for the families who are left trying without hope to care for them. These are the forgotten people who are left to feel ashamed, broken and alone. Hopefully with accounts like those that Armand so bravely shares in his memoir we can begin a road to embracing these individuals and their families with the support they need. My sincere admiration to the author for lifting the veil and sharing his raw story with the world. Please take the time to read this book, you won't be sorry!
