Sobre este áudio

Heralded as “a compelling story full of heart and humor,” Laurie L. Hellmann’s second memoir, 'Selling Vegetables to Drunks,' is equal parts requiem for a dead father and a rededication of life for those he left behind.

Travel with mother, sales executive, autism advocate, podcaster, and acclaimed author Laurie L. Hellmann on an autumn road trip from Indiana to Michigan to bury her alcoholic father — a man whose dreams were permanently deferred, whose secrets followed him to the grave, and whose addiction all but defined the way his children experienced the world. In this captivating true story, listeners “ride shotgun” with Laurie, eavesdropping on her conversations with her teenage daughter, Kendall, about the secrets of her former life, the truth about her father, and the nostalgic “good times” she and her sister had while growing up “in the country” on the outskirts of a small Midwestern town.

For anyone who has ever coped with the complex emotions of losing someone who was deeply flawed — and even abusive — this book lays bare the kind of communication and introspection it takes to forgive and hold accountable those who wronged us while committing to ourselves (and our children, spouses, and others) that the cycles of violence, addiction, and/or dysfunction end with us.

Selling Vegetables to Drunks takes us into neighborhood bars and backyard gardens, childhood dance studios and 1980s living rooms, and leaves us with lessons about forgiveness and pain, affection and abandonment, marriage and parenthood, life and death … and the nearly impossible task of “moving on” after loss. It is possible that what you have survived has perfectly prepared you for what life needs from you now.
