I grew up in Goodland, Kansas, in a home shaped by addiction and instability. My mother’s boyfriend could turn violent without warning, and I learned early how to stay quiet to get through the day.
Lost in Goodland is a memoir about growing up inside that environment and what follows you into adulthood. It traces the habits formed to survive, and how those patterns resurface years later.
This book is for readers who grew up learning how to manage other people’s emotions, and are still trying to understand what that did to them.
