Flynn Laura (363 results)

Paperback. Condition: Fair. A luminous memoir of a San Francisco childhood shattered by mental illness that follows three young girls learning to survive their mother's paranoid schizophrenia by inhabiting the very world of imagination she had given them Charismatic, beautiful Sally Flynn was the center of her daughters' imaginations, particularly Laura's. Without warning, life as they knew it changed as paranoid schizophrenia overtook Sally. Whether it was accusing Laura's father of trying to win her over to the side of Satan, or buying only certain products that were evil-free, glimmers of her mother's future paranoia grew brighter as Laura's early years passed.

In luminous prose, this memoir paints a most intimate portrait of what might have been a catastrophic childhood.…
