520    "From the author of the best-selling Sweetbitter comes an 
       intimate, searingly honest memoir of growing up the child 
       of addicts, of how that turbulent, often harrowing 
       experience has affected her at every stage of her life, 
       and of how she has struggled to transcend this unwanted 
       legacy. When Sweetbitter was published to great success, 
       the author knew she should be happy, but she felt 
       incapable of it, emotionally shut down. She knew too that 
       the roots of her inability to feel were deep in her 
       childhood. With some hope of finally facing down her past-
       -of looking clearly at her parents and what she did and 
       did not inherit from them--she returned to California 
       after a decade away, a decade in which she'd honed the 
       practice of apathy. Stray is an account of that remarkable
       emotional journey. We meet her mother: a depressed 
       alcoholic, now mentally and physically handicapped by a 
       tragic brain aneurysm and living in squalor; and her 
       father: once a successful businessman, now a constantly 
       relapsing crystal meth addict living in halfway homes and 
       shelters. And we are with the author as she remembers and 
       relives the most difficult events of the ten years since 
       she left "home"--betrayals and infidelities, her own 
       problems with drinking, an affair with a married man whose
       darkness mirrored her own--and as she discovers the bounds
       of forgiveness, of her parents, but especially of 
       herself."--|cProvided by publisher.
