HER LAST DEATH, Please Lay to Rest Mommy Dearest Memoirs

Susanna Sonnenberg's memoir, HER LAST DEATH, is hopefully, the end all to end all memoirs of family dysfunction (as if there haven't been enough already.)   HER LAST DEATH is Sonnenberg's airing her dirty laundry of abuse, perversion & emblazoned sexual promiscuity.  Sonnenberg (b. 65) is a published journalist in "O," "Oprah" & incredulously, "Parenting."  Daphne, Susanna's mother, makes Joan Crawford look like Mother Theresa.  Daphne is a drugged out nymphomaniac and pathological liar whose perverse, inappropriate behavior molded her daughter into a lewd, misguided Lolita.  Susanna's encouraged promiscuity is the only mother/daughter bonding they share.  Be forewarned, do not read this disturbing, degenerative & dysfunctional psycholagical family melodrama.  Sonnenberg may have been published in Oprah's mag. but her bio would not have aired on her show.  The censors would not allow it.  She is a clever, readable writer with the skill to draw in her reader.  Therein lies her treachery.  Her memoir begins as a happily married mother of 2 when she receives a call telling her mother was in an accident, & on her deathbed.  She calls her sister saying she won't be flying to their mother's bedside.  She chooses to retain the barrier to prevent further toxicity and damage inflicted by  their mother.  What caused this irreconcilable rift and how did she survive?   It's not worth being mired in the slime to find out.  Should you read past the opening you'll be shocked, appalled & likely hooked on the ultimate violations of mother/daughter relationships.  Please, let HER LAST DEATH kill the Mommy Dearest genre.
