Helpful Score: 1
This was my first read of a Mary Karr memoir and certainly not my last. Her writing is so richly poetic that it took me awhile to get into the book, but by the halfway mark, I was completely hooked. I suspect for many readers, this just might be a life-changing memoir. The long, painful struggle to end her alcohol dependence and her defiant search for a higher power have resonated with this reader. I am going to read her earlier memoirs as soon as I can get my hands on them.
