By Kate Lariscy

Book Overview

A daughter's memoir of loving and losing through her mother's addiction

In the house that broke me, Kate shares her deeply personal journey through the hidden world of prescription drug abuse in her own family, as the daughter of an addict.

With raw vulnerability and unfiltered truth, Kate reflects on what it was like to grow up in the shadow of her mother's struggle-watching, questioning, and eventually understanding the gravity of what was happening behind closed doors. She uncovers how trauma shapes identity and how silence often protects pain more than people.

This memoir isn't just a recounting of hardship-it's a voice for the countless families who are suffering in silence. For anyone who's ever loved someone lost in addiction, this story reminds us: you are not alone, and it's okay to speak the truth.
