Product Information

This gripping and darkly funny memoir "is a testament to the undeniable, indestructible love between a mother and a daughter" (Isaac Mizrahi). Liz Scheier's mother was a news junkie, a hilarious storyteller, a fast-talking charmer you couldn't look away from, a single mother whose devotion crossed the line into obsession, and--when in the grips of the mental illness that plagued her--a masterful liar. On an otherwise uneventful afternoon when Scheier was eighteen, her mother sauntered into the room and dropped two bombshells. First, that she had been married for most of the previous two decades to a man Liz had never heard of and, second, that the man she had claimed was Liz's dead father was entirely fictional. She'd made him up--his name, the stories, everything. Those big lies were the start, but not the end; it had taken dozens of smaller lies to support them, and by the time she was done she had built a fairy-tale, half-true life for the two of them. Judith Scheier's charm was more than matched by her eccentricity, and Liz had always known there was something wrong in their home. After all, other mothers didn't raise a child single-handedly with no visible source of income, or hide their children behind fake Social Security numbers, or host giant parties in a one-bedroom Manhattan apartment only to throw raging tantrums when the door closed behind the guests. Now, decades later, armed with clues to her father's identity--and as her mother's worsening dementia reveals truths she never intended to share--Liz attempts to uncover the real answers to the mysteries underpinning her childhood. Trying to construct a "normal" life out of decidedly abnormal roots, she navigates her own circuitous path to adulthood: a bizarre breakup, an unexpected romance, and the birth of her son and daughter. Along the way, Liz wrestles with questions of what we owe our parents even when they fail us, and of how to share her mother's hilarity, limitless love, and creativity with children--without passing down the trauma of her mental illness. Never Simple is the story of enduring the legacy of a hard-to-love parent with compassion, humor, and, ultimately, self-preservation.

Reviews

"Scheier...debuts with a stunning and generous account of living with her mother's mental illness...Readers will find it hard to part with this one." -- Publishers Weekly , *starred* "[ Never Simple ] blends dark humor with heartache...[Scheier's] rich imagery and engaging prose will keep readers turning the pages...A brave exploration of a difficult but forever-connected mother-daughter relationship. Scheier's memoir will appeal to many, thanks to its wit, unraveling mystery, and honesty." -- Library Journal "[In this] tense and heart-rending story...Scheier is sometimes as sardonic as her mother, as well as funny and frequently clever... Never Simple writhes with the sorrow and guilt only a deep and complicated love can arouse." -- BookPage "Liz Scheier's beautiful book is a testament to the undeniable, indestructible love between a mother and a daughter. In telling her story she brings enormous sympathy to an exceedingly complicated relationship, and thus a clearer understanding for all of us with mothers. It's a meditation on the subject of how much fear and dread can be tolerated by a loving heart. I adored it." -- Isaac Mizrahi "The complexities of a mother/daughter relationship are laid bare in this darkly funny, and utterly shattering memoir. Liz Scheier writes with shocking beauty and grace, never once turning her back on the truth. Never Simple is a brilliant, triumphant debut by a writer of significant literary talent." -- Augusten Burroughs, author of Running With Scissors and Toil & Trouble "Possibly the most brilliant, evocative, devastating memoir of what it is like to be the daughter of a mother with Borderline Personality Disorder, Liz Scheier's story is also one of resilience and compassion. The questions it asks are ones that every surviving adult child of a profoundly mentally ill parent grapples with: how strong is the maternal thread that enables the survivor to care for an abusive mother even when they become a danger to their world and everyone in it? Is it possible for those left behind to ever heal? Staggering, at turns horrifying and life-giving, Never Simple left me gasping for breath." -- Elissa Altman, author of Motherland "A riveting and poignant memoir of lies, compassion, and discovery. I couldn't put it down." -- Jenny Lawson, New York Times bestselling author of Broken, Furiously Happy , and Let's Pretend This Never Happened " Never Simple is a puzzle box of a book. There are questions to be answered: who was Liz Scheier's mother, really, and what became of her father? How will this little girl possibly grow up and survive her mother's abuse to be a funny, talented, healthy adult with children and a husband of her own? Scheier has a talent for setting the stage and placing you alongside her while she lays out the important and often gut-wrenching details of her life. Things happen in doorways and parks and other people's apartments, and you can see--and feel--it all happening even if your upbringing was far less dramatic and painful. I understood how good a writer Liz Scheier was as soon as I realized she was making me feel nostalgic for the New York of my childhood--even though I didn't grow up in New York. I really loved this book, and it deserves a big audience. It's an absorbing exercise in empathy. And it's a great read." --Chris Schluep, Amazon Books Editor "[ Never Simple ] recounts an improbably complicated life courtesy of an eccentric, mentally ill mother...[D]ark humor...abounds throughout the narrative...[D]rama on every page, punctuated by shrewd wit." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Scheier...debuts with a stunning and generous account of living with her mother's mental illness...Readers will find it hard to part with this one." -- Publishers Weekly , *starred* "Liz Scheier's beautiful book is a testament to the undeniable, indestructible love between a mother and a daughter.
