Best memoir I've read in a long time! Especially thoughtful for those of us who grew up in the 60's and 70's. Unbelieveable that 3 of the 4 children in this family "survived" their parents' "craziness" to become mentally healthy, successful adults. Supports the social science theory of a "resilence" factor.
