a haunting family memoir of loss and mental illness

In this lyric memoir of loss, the narrator’s relationship with a beloved brother disintegrates against the backdrop of her mother’s mental illness and, ultimately, her brother’s death. Part poetry, part elegy, Dear Boy grapples with the universal issues of human longing and grief while praising the unexpected beauty to be found in the wake of such sorrows.

"All time favorite! Dear Boy goes in my all-time favorite memoir list. Weber structures the book as a series of letters to her brother, who has died as a young man. As children, she and her brother had been devoted to each other, but the chaos in their family, wrought by their mentally ill mother, had created a rift. This book is her goodbye, the conversation she was never able to have. The memories, often from a child’s point of view, are heartbreaking, but the simplicity and lyricism of Weber’s language, along with her sincerity, honesty, clarity, and powerful combination of strength and tenderness imbue this difficult story with beauty and hope."
