Welcome to Litsy!

This was a really fascinating read. I was familiar with the music of Allison Moorer and her sister Shelby Lynne but had no idea that one day when they were young, their dad killed their mom and then himself. This book was really heartbreaking as she looks back on the memories, good and bad, and how this tragedy has affected both her and her sister. I‘m really glad I read it, she is a beautiful writer.

Wow wow wow. This is a must read for anyone working in the criminal justice, medical, or psychology field.

Allison's story is heart wrenching but it is told in such a poetic, lyrical, and captivating way. I was so drawn into this book it was difficult to put down.

I will use some quotes from this to train my new interns in my social work program at my job. Just extremely powerful. Trigger warnings for sure though, be aware.

A strong ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

Going to start this memoir. A story about trauma, family, and the impact of memories.

I've never heard of singer-songwriter / author Allison Moore before and best bet I'm gonna look her up. This story and the writing style forced me to buy it off the shelf.

Inside there looks to be drawings, notes, and possibly poetry.

I predict a 5 star read.

Here is my list for July #bookspinbingo. This month a wild mix of library books, ebooks and print. No bingos but I read a lot more in June than I had been. Success! @TheAromaofBooks

I already knew Allison Moorer was a beautiful writer as I‘ve been a fan of both her and her sister, Shelby Lynne, for awhile now. This memoir is mainly about her brutal childhood and the murder of her mother by her father, who also killed himself. It‘s sad and touching and made me hurt for her and for her entire family. #FeastMode

I‘m trying to read Blood, but Jayne isn‘t allowing it. He‘s more interested in getting me to pet him for the rest of the day.

I am numb today. I enjoyed this #audiobook but more because I liked the narrator‘s soothing Alabama accent. Despite the violent content, TW for domestic, child and animal abuse, I just wanted to hear more of her voice. Idk this is a weird time for me right now.

This was my #onewordbook read for #ReadWithMrBook

A memoir by the musician Alison Morer (sister of Shelby Lynne)....about the murder/suicide of her parents, their childhood and the impact this had and still has on them as adults. Heartbreaking.

I like Allison Moorer‘s music. She and her sister, Shelby Lynne, had a pretty traumatic childhood. Then, I also love Pat Conroy, so I‘m interested in reading Cassandra King‘s book about their lives together.
