The witch's daughter

my mother, her magic, and the madness that bound us
"From indie musician Orenda Fink, a memoir of a tumultuous childhood growing up with a mother who may have borderline personality disorder. Orenda Fink was raised by a darkly charismatic mother who insisted that they were both MAGIC. In The Witch's Daughter, Orenda chronicles her years spent navigating this ominous power, alongside her mother's substance abuse and hyper-controlling, often destructive, grip on the family, later suspected to be a subtype of borderline personality disorder classified as "The Witch." Fink's searing prose brings the reader through these tumultuous highs and lows of childhood, through her adulthood and early days as a musician, and into a healed version of herself who is able to walk through the world without being crushed under the baggage of her childhood"--Provided by publisher.
