Historia
Kim Miller is an immaculately put-together woman with a great career, a loving boyfriend, and a tidy apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. You would never guess that Kim grew up behind the closed doors of her family’s idyllic Long Island house, navigating between teetering stacks of aging newspapers, broken computers, and boxes upon boxes of unused junk festering in every room - the product of her father’s painful and unending struggle with hoarding. In this moving coming-of-age story, Kim brings to life her rat-infested home and her childhood consumed by concealing her father’s shameful secret from friends.

When Reyna Grande was nine years old, she walked across the US-Mexico border in search of a home, desperate to be reunited with the parents who had left her behind years before for a better life in the City of Angels. What she found instead was an indifferent mother, an abusive, alcoholic father, and a school system that belittled her heritage. With so few resources at her disposal, Reyna finds refuge in words, and it is her love of reading and writing that propels her to rise above until she achieves the impossible and is accepted to the University of California, Santa Cruz.

What is a “normal family,” and how do you go about making one? Chrysta Bilton’s magnetic, larger-than-life mother, Debra, yearned to have a child, but as a single gay woman in 1980s California, she had few options. Until one day, while getting her hair done in a Beverly Hills salon, she met a man and instantly knew he was the one she’d been looking for. Beautiful, athletic, artistic, and from a well-to-do family, Jeffrey Harrison appeared to be Debra’s ideal sperm donor.

Jessi Hempel was raised in a seemingly picture-perfect, middle-class American family. But the truth was far from perfect. Her father was constantly away from home, traveling for work, while her stay-at-home mother became increasingly lonely and erratic. Growing up, Jessi and her two siblings struggled to make sense of their family, their world, their changing bodies, and the emotional turmoil each was experiencing. And each, in their own way, was hiding their true self from the world.

Resumen del Editor
Growing up, Tiffany Rochelle had no reason to believe her mother was not who she claimed to be, but that all changed when she was nine. She learned her mother had been living under a false identity since before she was born, and that the name her mother had used on her birth certificate wasn't real. From that point, Tiffany's life was never the same.
By the time she was 25, her mother had used 27 known aliases and had created just as many lives to go along with them. As she got older and "found" herself in the world of art, Tiffany realized that even if she could have chosen her mother, she would have chosen no differently. Tiffany knew that she would not have achieved success as an artist were it not for her mother's insane roots.
Tiffany Rochelle's story shows how true the saying, "You can't choose your family" is and why you should be grateful for them.

We're eager to leave the "kid" stage, yet we're uncertain about what adolescence will bring; we start hearing the familiar refrain "wait until you're older" far too often.

Dreaming of a "year in Provence" with her mother, Katie urges Helen to move to San Francisco to live with her and Zoe, Katie's teenage daughter. Katie and Zoe had become a mother-daughter team, strong enough, Katie thought, to absorb the arrival of a 77-year-old woman set in her ways....

When George Hodgman leaves Manhattan for his hometown of Paris, Missouri, he finds himself - an unlikely caretaker and near-lethal cook - in a head-on collision with his aging mother, Betty, a woman of wit and will. Will George lure her into assisted living? When hell freezes over.

After waking from a coma following a car crash, Beverly Thornton's once sweet and gentle disposition had been replaced by violent mood swings, profanity-laced tirades, and uncontrollable fits of rage. Inside the Thornton house, floors and countertops were piled high with dirty laundry and garbage because Bev was unable to move well enough to clean. Dinners were a Russian roulette of half-cooked meat, spoiled milk, and foods well past their expiration dates.

Fascinating all the way till the end.
Remarkable story of a child struggling to understand life while it's all being hidden from her. I encourage other's to understand the courage it takes.

Not finished! Where's the rest of the story?
Warning: Promised content not delivered! Con artist much?
Maybe there is a tale to be told here, but it wasn't told and I won't be risking this author again. It did not include most of the content promised in the Audible blurb. This is maybe 25% of a book, and I intend to return it.
The book ends abruptly and is clearly unfinished. The title "Insane Roots" is an overly-dramatic description of the content, at best.
I'm not sure why this incomplete book is offered as an Audible selection? Was something missed?
The book is about the author's childhood, and finishes with a last few paragraphs saying that the author's adult adventures with her mother are far more colorful ... and then the book ends. What ???
There are no "con artist" incidents, one of the primary features of the blurb. As for the "27 identities", there is only one brief note of one identify theft, without details of how or why it was done. The worst "insanity" are some drunk-and-drug parties and petty shoplifting. There is very little about what her mother was doing with her life beyond the fragments seen by a young child. The one redeeming feature of the book is the balance and restraint toward making her mother look even crazier.
The parent she describes is no flakier than many parents dabbling in drugs in our culture today. The story was told well enough for what it was, but it wasn't special. It might be good in an Al-Anon context.
The author is a barely-passable narrator. I didn't find her tone to be particularly listenable.
