On the surface, Matthew Quick seemed to have it all. But secretly, he was depressed and some days, he didn’t want to live. Years earlier, when he first told his father he wanted to be a novelist, the response was immediate and brutal. He channeled his pain into his debut novel, THE SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK, crafting a complex father-son dynamic drawn straight from his own life. Still, the approval Quick longed for never came. In this book, Quick takes readers deep into his psyche, as he wrestles with both his own mental health and his father’s cognitive decline. Just as he is putting himself back together, his father is diagnosed with dementia. DAD, LOVE, ME is Quick’s raw, vulnerable and deeply moving account of what it means to forgive a parent who never really knew how to love you. This memoir is a must read for anyone who has been starved of love but wants to keep loving anyway.
