The Kids are All Right: A Memoir by Diana and Liz Welch with Dan and Amanda Welch

We just found out that we were chosen as one of The Daily Beast’s “Book Beast” hot reads of the week!

Big thanks to Wistar Watt Murray, author of the blog One Star Watt, for letting us know!

Here’s what the Beast had to say about our book:

“Four orphaned siblings recount their eerie ’80s childhoods.

The truth is stranger than fiction in this memoir of a family shaken up by everything from bankruptcy to the arrival of an exchange student and, eventually, the death of both parents.”

“The memoir is written by all four Welch siblings and tells the stories of the strange trajectories they took to deal with their grief: Liz moved to Norway, Amanda and Daniel dabbled in drugs, and Diana took on an entirely new identity with an unfriendly foster family. After a rocky road, the siblings manage to find their way back to each other and reunite as a family, a story Uses of Enchantment author Heidi Julavits describes as full of ‘humor, compassion, and humility, and teeming with priceless ’80s references.’”
