This book is NOT the one being described, but another one by this author, My Face. It is unfortunate, but this one and My Face are posted incorrectly by Audible. Both are good, but VERY different kinds of stories. Because of that, I will post both reviews here:

*MY FACE
My Face, although deeply disturbing, is the story of a husband and wife, who clearly have grown apart over many years of marriage. Told in a way that hits hard, probably harder than anything I’ve ever listened to over the years regarding marital estrangement, is so sad that after it was over I could hardly get it out of my head. Do not ever let this sort of monster invade your own mind or your own marriage.

*STORIES WE BEGAN TO TELL
A seven-year-old girl whose only glimpses of joy and reality are when her loving father comes home from work, describes life with her strange and hostile mother, who is clearly mentally unstable. A very short listen with some hopeful parts, some break throughs near the end. Anyone who has ever dealt either with mental illness or alcoholism will appreciate this delicately written short listen.
