Any Place I Hang My Hat by Susan Isaacs
This is about an almost- 30 woman searching for the teenage mother who abandoned her as a baby. Also, her struggle to allow herself to open up and be vulnerable to others, after her crappy upbringing by her father's crazy mother after he went to jail forced her to basically raise herself.
It's a very intellectual book. There were at least ten words I had never heard of, which made me question my own brain. It also has a lot about life in NYC, which I found pretty interesting.
I'm kind of "neh" on this one. I didn't much care for it at first, but it gradually sucked me in, and I actually felt happy at the ending. That it was a happy one, I mean, not that it was ending.
