SynopsisThis personal portrait of a mother and daughter explores the profound and poignant revelations that so often can come to light only after a parent has died. Publisher's noteTraces the author's reminiscences about her complicated relationship with her mother in the aftermath of the latter's death, a dynamic marked by questions about her parents' stormy relationship and the dysfunctions that challenged them all. Reprint. AnnotationAlyse Myers' thoughtful and unsparing memoir, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?, opens shortly after the death of her cruel and unloving mother. As Myers sifts through their mother's belongings with her sisters, she discovers a locked box that her mother guarded ferociously and never let her children open. This box becomes a guiding metaphor for Myers's memoir, as she revisits her childhood: growing up under the seeming tyranny of her chain-smoking, cold-hearted mother; longing for her absent, drug-addicted father; vowing to grow-up, succeed, and never return. As the story unfolds, the perspective of both Myers and the reader on her unhappy youth undergoes several surprising shifts, as her mother's character and motivation deepens and become more complex and tragic.
