You may have read Krosoczka's graphic novels. But do you know the story of the man growing up to be a famous author? Jarrett was born in Worcester, MA to a single mother and absent father. His mother was also a heroin addict. When he was in preschool, his grandparents stepped in and took custody of him. He lived with them and several of his aunts. The family dynamics were complicated and Jarrett seldom got to see his mother. This is his memoir about growing up with his grandparents. They sometimes drank too much and fought too much. But above all, they loved Jarrett and wanted him to have a wonderful life.
