Mother's House Payment - A Memoir

By Daniel Depp

Book Overview

Mother wanted a house. Daddy wanted a child. As long as she had me, the mortgage was paid.

That's how my father explained my genesis.

Mother's House Payment is the story of a woman who found the path to self-acceptance and understanding, in spite of the history of horrible cruelty inflicted by abusers, the betrayal by the adults she trusted, and a childhood diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder Type I inherited from the mother who never wanted her.

Customer Reviews

I absolutely LOVE to read everyone of John Hadamuscin's...

I absolutely LOVE to read everyone of John Hadamuscin's cook books. Most of the recipes and tips I have used over the course of 20+ years. Whatever you choose to cook/bake etc. always turn out delicious.

Another winner!

Once again I find myself caught in Mr. Hadamuscin's web. I sit with a cup of tea and page thru "Pleasures" remembering times gone by. The pictures, words and recipes are wonderful. The only thing to make it better would be to have John and friends sitting in my kitchen swapping stories and cooking up a storm. Hope another book is coming in the near future -- it is long overdue.

a delightful excursion into fond remembrances

Not only is this an enchanting book with heart-warming pictures, the recipes are very good. It brings about a calm mood even when cooking isn't your reason for opening it.
