In Keepsake, she explores that most complicated of relationships, as two sisters raised by a hoarder deal with old hurts and resentments, and the very different paths their lives have taken. As always, Riggle approaches important topics poignantly and honestly--including hoarding and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in her remarkable Keepsake--while writing with real emotional power and compassion about families and their baggage. ( ) Keepsake by Kristina Riggle deals with hoarding through the perspectives of sisters Trish and Mary. The book is less about this family than about information on hoarding, its possible causes, its impact on families, and its treatment. The narrative becomes a vehicle through which to deliver that content. Once the message is done, so is the narrative. The mess of life is cleaned up too neatly, literally and figuratively, at the end of the book. Read my complete review at: http://www.memoriesfrombooks.com/2015/11/keepsake.html Being from the Grand Rapids area as well, it was fun to watch Riggle use area Michigan and Holland references in her book. Beyond that,there were so many interesting things about this book, about hoarding, about relationships that drew me in from the beginning. The only thing I felt was missing was the ending, and finalizing some of the characters. Felt odd to me how she left things with Ron. Did Drew turn himself around? Did Jack pick up on all of the hoarding nuances as well? A good read all together. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Trish isn't perfect. She's divorced and raising two kids-so of course her house isn't pristine. But she's got all the important things right and she's convinced herself that she has it all under control. That is, until the day her youngest son gets hurt and Child Protective Services comes calling. It's at that moment when Trish is forced to consider the one thing she's always hoped wasn't true: that she's living out her mother's life as a compulsive hoarder. The last person Trish ever wanted to turn to for help is her sister, Mary-meticulous, perfect Mary, whose house is always spotless...and who moved away from their mother to live somewhere else, just like Trish's oldest child has. But now, working together to get Trish's disaster of a home into livable shape, two very different sisters are about to uncover more than just piles of junk, as years of secrets, resentments, obsessions, and pain are finally brought into the light."--P.
