My Mother's House: A Memoir - Heartwarming Family Story & Childhood Memories | Perfect for Book Clubs, Mother's Day Gifts & Inspirational Reading

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!
