Like Family: Growing Up in Other People’s Houses
Paula Mclain
A beautiful and arresting memoir of a childhood in foster homes in 1970s California—a real life WHITE OLEANDER.
“What makes Like Family so remarkable are not the peculiar circumstances of Paula McLain’s childhood but the depth of understanding that she brings to those circumstances and the beautiful prose in which she renders that understanding. Seldom have I seen so vividly evoked the need to belong to some, any, kind of family and the painful negotiations that time brings to even our closest intimacies.” Margot Livesey, author of Eva Moves the Furniture
