to the moon and back:
a childhood under the influence
Share the Hope
Lisa Kohn’s memoir of being raised in and torn between two conflicting worlds.

TAKE THE F—K CARE OF YOURSELF!!
There is a lot going on right now, suffice it to say. A lot of hard stuff. Friends are texting me, asking how I am, and I am for perhaps the first time, texting back, “I’m not okay.” I’m not okay. I will be. I know that. And I am, deep down. But I am admitting that...
