A true story of survival, resilience, and the enduring strength of a young girl navigating a world full of chaos, abandonment, and secrecy. In this powerful sequel to Mother's Little Alibi, Lydia Constantine continues her courageous journey through a childhood shaped by trauma and maternal neglect. Set in mid-20th century America, Lydia's raw and unforgettable memoir explores the emotional scars left by alcoholism, betrayal, and abuse-and the hope she held onto in spite of it all.

With moments both tender and harrowing, In Spite of Mother recounts a girl's desperate longing for a "normal" family, her bittersweet friendships, and the refuge she found in her Aunt Ann, Girl Scouts, and fleeting moments of joy.
