Produktbeskrivning
This gripping and darkly funny memoir is a testament to the undeniable, indestructible love between a mother and a daughter (Isaac Mizrahi).
Liz Scheiers mother was a news junkie, a hilarious storyteller, a fast-talking charmer you couldnt look away from, a single mother whose devotion crossed the line into obsession, andwhen in the grips of the mental illness that plagued hera masterful liarOn an otherwise uneventful afternoon when Scheier was eighteen, her mother sauntered into the room and dropped two bombshells. First, that she had been married for most of the previous two decades to a man Liz had never heard of and, second, that the man she had claimed was Lizs dead father was entirely fictional.
Shed made him uphis name, the stories, everything.
Those big lies were the start, but not the end; it had taken dozens of smaller lies to support them, and by the time she was done she had built a fairy-tale, half-true life for the two of them. Judith Scheiers charm was more than matched by her eccentricity, and Liz had always known there was something wrong in their homeAfter all, other mothers didnt raise a child single-handedly with no visible source of income, or hide their children behind fake Social Security numbers, or host giant parties in a one-bedroom Manhattan apartment only to throw raging tantrums when the door closed behind the guests.
Now, decades later, armed with clues to her fathers identityand as her mothers worsening dementia reveals truths she never intended to shareLiz attempts to uncover the real answers to the mysteries underpinning her childhood. Trying to construct a normal life out of decidedly abnormal roots, she navigates her own circuitous path to adulthood: a bizarre breakup, an unexpected romance, and the birth of her son and daughterAlong the way, Liz wrestles with questions of what we owe our parents even when they fail us, and of how to share her mothers hilarity, limitless love, and creativity with childrenwithout passing down the trauma of her mental illness. Never Simple is the story of enduring the legacy of a hard-to-love parent with compassion, humor, and, ultimately, self-preservation.
