Kimberly Rae Miller
2013
Coming Clean by Kimberly Rae Miller is a gut-wrenching memoir by a talented young woman who grew up with two hoarding parents. At first it was only her father who hoarded, but in time her mother did also. Kimberly vividly describes an agonizing and confusing childhood, one in which she could never invite friends to her house or even explain why. And yet she loves her parents, and they obviously adore her. They provide for her every need, except the need to grow up in a clean environment.
This memoir will blow away any preconceived notions about who hoarders really are. Kim's parents are intelligent and educated, but are unable to deal with, or even admit to, their mental illness.
Anyone who enjoys reading biographies and memoirs or has any interest in how children cope in a dysfunctional family will want to read this book. It is a fast and fascinating read!
