Nearsighted

This is a collection of essays recounting the awkward, and often hilarious, experiences of one family’s “purple sheep” growing up in the Southern U.S. It's a sharp and witty ride to self-acceptance, fueled by the love of the author's equally offbeat group of family and friends including her goofy redneck dad, the multiple personalities of her grandmother, a pushy East Indian mother-in-law, a stripper with an MBA, and an amateur mystic.
