Book Reviews of Coming Home to Myself
Book Review: A very honest examination
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read about Wynonna's life and have been shocked at the instability she suffered as a young child, but just reading the "facts" as she portrayed them really made my heart go out to her. Born to a very young person not ready to be a Mom, shuffled from California and back to Kentucky, made to be responsible for her sister when there should have been an adult responsible for HER, in and out of school, not sure at times if the rent would be paid or if food would be on the table...no wonder Wynonna had some issues to work on as an adult! Then to discover the lie of her paternity (and I really think Naomi gets off very easy for all of this) and never get to meet her biological father or have any closure...I felt a lot of outrage about all that Wy had been exposed to. In spite of this, it is not a "Mommy Dearest" and she shows remarkable empathy and generosity of spirit toward her mother (wasn't it pretty chilling--Naomi shooting a bullet 4 inches above her lover's head? Again, appalling!). You pull for Wynonna and feel thrilled that she is breaking the cycle of addictions. The chapter "Peace in This House" is beautiful. I think this is a great book for anyone raised in turmoil who wants a better life, or anyone who takes a good look at their family and its patterns and says, "I want a better life!"
