Christine grew up in the home of an ABC executive father and a former farm girl/beauty pageant queen mother. Her mother dealt with her bad-tempered husband by becoming obsessed with a "healthy" diet plan that included eating blended salad three times a day (I looked it up and it is a real thing). This memoir could have easily veered into "woe is me" area but she balanced the bad parts of her childhood with memories of parents that obviously cared for the children despite their flaws. At times her flowery descriptions were beautiful at other times, over-written but I do think this is a good addition to the genre of memoirs about unusual upbringings. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
