The Woo-Woo

Wow. Lindsay has been through the wringer. This memoir really hit home–not that anyone called me retarded (what the hell?!) or belittled me in the same way as Lindsay's family did. What I understood were the episodes she was having. She described what happened to me in my second year of university exactly. Our diagnosis may have been different, but it took me back to a very harrowing time which meant I was rooting for her the entire book. If you liked Educated (and I know you did), then you will also like The Woo-Woo. The snapshot of her crazy upbringing will make you appreciate your own dysfunctional family just a little bit more :D
