Overview
āCompelling... [McPhee] positions herself neither as victim nor saint but as someone who, she says, only wants to be good.ā āThe Washington Post
A moving memoir from an award-winning novelistāa riveting account of her complicated, bohemian childhood and her return home to care for her ailing mother.
In March 2020, Martha McPhee, her husband, and their two children set out for her childhood home in New Jersey, where she finds herself grappling simultaneously with a mother slipping into severe dementia and a house thatās fallen into neglect. As Martha works to manage her motherās care and the sprawling, ramshackle propertyāa broken septic system, invasive bamboo, dying ash treesāshe is swept back, unwillingly, into memories of her fraught, dysfunctional childhood.
In this masterful exploration of a complicated family legacy, McPhee āmakes no effort to spare her own flaws even as she searches for the roots of her mature turmoil in the shortcomings of adults who failed in the fundamental task of protecting her younger selfā (BookPage). Omega Farm is an āexpansiveā (New Yorker) testament to hope in the face of suffering, and a courageous tale about how returning home can offer a new way to understand the past.
