Chasing Apple To Find Jerry

By Alexis Reed

Alexis Reed had always known there was something different about her father Jerry--he'd been nicknamed "Crazy Apple," after all, and the few interactions they'd shared in her youth were defined by his unpredictable mood swings, hard-to-follow conversations, and a prevailing, obsessive belief that he'd soon reunite with Alexis's mother. Rather than to go on pretending she was fatherless, however, a high school assignment inspired Alexis to try and understand the man who she called Dad and everyone else called crazy. Heartfelt, raw, and unflinching in its portrayal of a daughter learning to navigate her father's mental illness and perpetual homelessness, Chasing Apple to Find Jerry is an unforgettable memoir that takes readers on a journey of Alexis's most promising father-daughter triumphs and deepest familial disappointments--all in the name of finding, and keeping, her beloved father Jerry around for good.
