He has returned home to care for her and to write a novel. But all he can write about is her. In this frank and revealing memoir, he unspools an intimate story of his upbringing and early adulthood: feeling out of place as a child, homophobic bullying at school, his brother's mental illness and drug addiction, his father's sudden death, his own devastating diagnosis, his struggles and triumphs as a writer, and above all, his relationship with his mother. Her brightness shines a light over his childhood, but her betrayal of his teenage self leads to years of resentment and disconnection. Now, he must find a way to reconcile with her, before it is too late.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mccrea, Gavin","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46499782689107,"sku":"9781914484988","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/mccrea-gavin-cells-memories-for-my-mother-9781914484988-49010861375827.jpg?v=1680987760","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/cells-memories-for-my-mother-1","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
