Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Midnight Calling is a self-published memoir by Lynn Walker. The memoir describes her life from early childhood with an adoring father to his becoming an addict and drug smuggler, her addiction, and her transformation into a successful and contributing member of society. I applaud her decision to enter into therapy, to explore the reasons behind her addiction, and the strength it took for her to make her arduous journey to a career that is fulfilling and a person who is free of drug and alcohol controlling her life. But most rewarding to read is her journey to understand how her father's rejection shaped her life, how she learned how it impacted her, and how she grew to see herself as worthy without his affirmation. The book is well written and the story interesting. ( )Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Very interesting to read from a girl's view of addiction and trying to get her father's love. I was surprised at how addicted she was to drugs and alcohol at such a young age. She was pretty thorough about what got her addicted; most of the book was about that. I felt the ending was rushed to her adult life and coming out of addiction as I would have liked to have read more about that but her discussion of some of the therapy was thought provoking to read.

I couldn't put it down. I love that she doesn't write her past with disdain or lessen it. She just presents everything honestly and explains how she felt in those moments. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't write too much more. I do, however, want to touch on the fact that it's amazing to hear tidbits about how her therapy sessions affected how she sees herself and her problems. Her change in how she views what she can bring to relationships - both romantic and platonic - was incredibly moving. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.

I didn’t realize it is not narrated by the writer and I have trouble connecting with the book like this because it doesn’t feel as personal to me. Also, The Random Thoughts: Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I can't imagine the courage it took to tell this story and it was intense to say the least. It was a wonderful read!

Within months of being paroled, John waltzed back into his kids' lives, dishing out pure, Colombian cocaine to Lynn and launching her brother's coke-dealing career.
