Poverty. Addiction. Evil Santa on an ATV. Which of these will be the hardest to escape?
Karen Callahan was born in Fresno, California, to well-meaning meth addicts, and life only grew more complicated from there. Her mother's love life is a revolving door of broken men, each one a failed promise for escaping a life of poverty and the failing family farm they're forced to fall back on. From dusty Oregon backroads to cramped California apartments, Karen and her mother explore every escape route from the cycles of addiction and abuse...but what if the family helping them escape is actually keeping them trapped?
A fierce, funny, and moving memoir, Someday Way stands as a reminder that we cannot pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, but through education and empathy, even the darkest cycles can be broken.
