Book Review of By Her Own Hand: Memoirs of a Suicide's Daughter

By Her Own Hand: Memoirs of a Suicide's Daughter


It's difficult to dislike a memoir of this nature ... but I was expecting ... ... more. Based on the synopsis, I had thought a decent part of the book would have dealt with how her mother's suicide affected her into adulthood ... Instead, she spent roughly half of the book telling us about three - yes - 3 - generations of her family tree on both sides, which was elucidating, but not why I wanted to read the book. Any incite I had hoped to acquire was not found.
