Coming Clean: A Memoir

Kim Miller's Coming Clean is a heart-wrenching yet inspiring memoir that delves into the complexities of family dynamics, mental health, and the power of resilience.

Growing up behind closed doors in an idyllic Long Island house, Kim navigated through stacks of aging newspapers, broken computers, and boxes upon boxes of unused junk - the product of her father's struggle with hoarding.

Despite the chaos that surrounded her, Kim managed to thrive, bringing to life her rat-infested home, her childhood consumed by concealing her father's secret from friends, and the emotional burden that led to an attempt to take her own life.

Through beautiful prose, Miller sheds light on her complicated yet loving relationship with her parents, highlighting the strength of their bond in spite of the odds.

This moving coming-of-age story is a testament to the power of recognizing where we come from and the relationships that define us - and ultimately, finding peace in the homes we make for ourselves.
