Overview

The true story of...

A gypsy mother who refused to wear a bra and a father who refused to leave his first wife. A brother who slept under the coffee table and a sister who was kidnapped. A cheating minister, a missing uncle and a feisty red-headed grandmother who was longing to leave it all.

I always knew my family was unusual, but I was lucky enough to have escaped that gene. Or was I? In a nursing home, seated next to my dying grandmother, I looked around at my family and it occurred to me that I fit right in. No bra, dirty sneakers and two ex husbands. Maybe it really is genetic - maybe I never had a chance.

With the help of my siblings, I began a journey of self discovery as we recalled stories of our youth including juicy family secrets, inappropriate practical jokes and betrayal.

On a journey to find normal, I found myself instead.

Editorial Reviews

"Buffi is a new and refreshing writer. Her frankness and insight are woven into a sometimes amusing, sometimes sad story that speaks to many of us who carry the 'burden' of the dysfunctional family. She makes dysfunction function..."
Amazon Reviews - DM C
Loved this book! An amazing read and totally inspirational. It has the strange family circumstance of "The Glass Castle" mixed with the strong female bonds of "Steal Magnolia". It made me laugh, it made me cry. I identified fully with her journey!
Highly Recommend!
