Acerca de esta escucha
"Sweeney writes with conviction and is emphatic in his opinions. He demonstrates facility with psychological terminology which he often utilizes when describing himself and the family dynamic... While children being raised by a grandparent has become more commonplace, there are few who can claim to have been raised by a great-grandparent. Sweeney’s tribute to the man who was his hero and his role model during an often cruel and miserable childhood is a heartfelt one." (The BookLife Prize/Publishers Weekly)
The Light of Other Days is a memoir about growing up in a turbulent household with an anxiety disorder, depression, sensory issues, and introversion while struggling with an absent father and an emotionally distant stepfather.
It is also a story about a wonderful relationship between a boy and his great-grandfather, a man who unwittingly filled a parental void in the midst of his own depression.
Beginning in the blue-collar world of 1970s Philadelphia and ending over two decades later, The Light of Other Days follows the trials of adolescence and an internal monologue that was often louder than the outside world.

Historia
William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him—so when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano in his freshman year of college, it’s as if the world has lit up around him. With Julia comes her family, as she and her three sisters are inseparable: Sylvie, the family’s dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all.

At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother.

In this powerful true crime memoir, an award-winning identity theft expert tells the shocking story of the duplicity and betrayal that inspired her career and nearly destroyed her family. Axton Betz-Hamilton grew up in small-town Indiana in the early '90s. When she was 11 years old, her parents both had their identities stolen. Their credit ratings were ruined, and they were constantly fighting over money. This was before the age of the Internet, when identity theft became more commonplace, so authorities and banks were clueless and reluctant to help Axton's parents.

Set in our contemporary moment, and moving across the globe from Switzerland, Japan, and New York City to Tel Aviv, Los Angeles, and South America, the stories in To Be a Man feature male characters as fathers, lovers, friends, children, seducers, and even a lost husband who may never have been a husband at all.

From the 1940s through the 1960s, young pregnant women entered the front door of a clinic in a small North Georgia town. Sometimes their babies exited out the back, sold to Northern couples who were desperate to hold a newborn in their arms. But these weren't adoptions - they were transactions. And one unethical doctor was exploiting other people's tragedies. Jane Blasio was one of those babies.

Sophie Duguet is losing her grip. Haunted by visions from her past of her loving husband, who committed suicide after a car accident. One morning she wakes to find Leo, the child in her care, strangled in his bed by Sophie's own shoelaces. She can remember nothing of the night before. Could she really have killed him? She flees in panic, but this only cements her guilt in the eyes of the law. Not long afterwards it happens again - she wakes with blood on her hands, with no memory of the murder committed.

Historia
To Anne Serling, the imposing figure the public saw hosting The Twilight Zone each week, intoning cautionary observations about fate, chance, and humanity, was not the father she knew. Her fun-loving dad would play on the floor with the dogs, had nicknames for everyone in the family, and was apt to put a lampshade on his head and break out in song. He was her best friend, her playmate, and her confidant. After his unexpected death at 50, Anne, just 20, was left stunned.

Historia
Pastor Jason Faircloth knows what he believes. His clear faith, in fact, is why he is one of the most prominent pastors in Atlanta. He relies on it to discipline his daughter, his wife, his church. He prays daily that others would come to see God's ways as he does. And it will cost him everything he has. Groping for answers in the face of tragedy, Jason is determined to find the one person left who might provide healing: the granddaughter kept hidden from him.

If Brighton Beach Memoirs is five stars…
…this one is worthy of four, for relatable observations of human behavior and depictions of the author’s experiences. Read beyond the initial description of Pop’s unfortunate layoff and you will find warmth and hope opposing incredibly selfish would-be parents. Anyone who identifies as sensitive yet strong, a daydreamer with a smart and curious mind, will relate hard to this kid. I can just imagine Gary’s Philadelphia, it’s neighbors sitting on the front steps even in cold months, and Gary on the couch with his Pop enjoying comfort and safety, with a sleeve of Ritz crackers.

Honoring a loved and adored Pop
I love memoirs, and this one struck a cord with me as I also had a very close relationship with my grandmother given challenges at home with my nuclear family. I could relate to this story in many ways, and appreciated the journey I experienced when triggers to my own life presented. I liked how the author included so much local history as it related to his family, as I am from the same general area, so enjoyed that part too. I enjoyed the listen: )

Memories
This was such a a wonderful way to honor your grandfather's life, entwined with your own. I loved this book so much. A lot of it reminded me of my father's memories and how I miss him so. Thank you for sharing your life, good and bad.

Heartfelt beautiful story
How lucky the author was to have had such a wonderful presence in his life. It was such a relatable story for anyone who has been fortunate enough to have a loving grandparent integrated into their daily life. I was touched by the depth of his feelings even 25 years after the death of his beloved “Pop”. Very well done without being sappy.
