Self-Help
Kim Miller is an immaculately put-together woman with a
great career, a loving boyfriend, and a tidy apartment on
Manhattan’s Upper West Side. You would never guess that Kim
grew up behind the closed doors of her family’s idyllic Long
Island house, navigating between teetering stacks of aging
newspapers, broken computers, and boxes upon boxes of unused
junk festering in every room—the product of her father’s
painful and unending struggle with hoarding.
In this moving coming-of-age story, Kim brings to life her
rat-infested home, her childhood consumed by concealing her
father’s shameful secret from friends, and the emotional
burden that ultimately led to an attempt to take her own
life. And in beautiful prose, Miller sheds light on her
complicated yet loving relationship with her parents that
has thrived in spite of the odds.
Coming Clean is a story about recognizing where we come from
and the relationships that define us—and about finding peace
in the homes we make for ourselves.
