Relatively Criminal: A Memoir

By Donna Abear

"A hilarious, heartbreaking and poignant story of family ties that bind, against all odds."--KIRKUS REVIEWS

Estranged from her highly-dysfunctional childhood family and an escapee from an unhappy marriage, a divorced mother of two makes an impulsive decision to provide a temporary home to her younger brother. The catch? He's on parole. Unaware of her brother Frank's lengthy criminal record, Donna takes him in and devotes herself to the idea that she can help rehabilitate him. The book chronicles their lives and relationship for a dozen roller coaster years of friendship, rock 'n roll, courts, crime, drugs, AIDs and unconditional love, as she tries to save him...from himself.
