Dirty Secret: A Daughter Comes Clean About Her Mother's Compulsive Hoarding
SouthWestZippy avatar reviewed on + 265 more book reviews


Interesting look into the life of Jessie Sholl and her Mother who is a hoarder. Jessie Sholl does a lot of analyzing why things are the way they are and trying to come to terms with childhood. Sholl's Mother and Father both have heath scares. Jessie and her husband try and clean the house a couple of times and come down with bugs. I found this story to take over part of the book became repetitive and annoying.
