Description

In this candid memoir, Jarrett J. Krosoczka recounts the complicated journey of growing up with family addiction—how it reshaped his childhood, strained his sense of safety, and forced him to find his own way through grief and uncertainty. As he navigates the aftermath of losing his mother, he also begins to uncover the truth about his father and what it means to build connection when the past is still present. Told with emotional clarity and striking honesty, the book explores themes of resilience, identity, and the long, uneven work of healing. With the immediacy of a graphic memoir and the warmth of a storyteller who refuses to look away, Krosoczka offers a deeply human portrait of family, recovery, and hope.
