Mama Fed Us Roadkill & Other Treasures

We all remember meals from childhood that struck us as dangerously questionable, but how many of us actually had to eat road kill? In her second memoir, Mama Fed Us Roadkill and Other Treasures, Elizabeth K. Mathewson shares stories of sampling possum and raccoon, as well as many other flavorful tales of living with a mother who held things together simply by dint of not allowing even a peep of dissension. Mathewson treats her mother with graciousness and forgiveness throughout this compelling story of childhood.
