Never Simple: A Memoir

The audiobook is compelling and, on occasion, jaw-dropping.

It's a darkly funny and touching memoir about growing up in '90s Manhattan with a brilliant, mendacious single mother.

Scheier's mother Judith was a news junkie, a hilarious storyteller, a fast-talking charmer you couldn’t look away from, a single mother whose devotion crossed the line into obsession, and—when in the grips of the mental illness that plagued every day of her life—a violent and abusive liar whose hold on reality was shaky at best.

The audiobook takes you deep into the cascading effects of decades of lies and deception, and is a story of learning to survive—and, finally, trying to save—a complicated parent, as feared as she is loved, and as self-destructive as she is adoring.
