The Kids Are All Right - Kepler's Staff Review

You will yell Bravo! and leap to your feet with happiness when you finish reading this memoir of  Welch siblings, The Kids are All Right. Theirs is no ordinary suburban family upbringing – though it starts that way.

 

But along the way…life happens. They are devastated to lose their adored Dad and within a brief time their mother also dies. Suddenly the Welch children - aged 19, 16, 14 and 8 - are in need of homes, care, love and family.

 

They overcome great odds to keep themselves going forward and to stay connected. Make no mistake, they all live through hardship, but remain resilient and lively. Amanda perfects high school house parties into a high art form, mixes music tapes to share with her brother and sisters and brings Liz clubbing in New York on school breaks. They all found ways to enjoy life, to be kids.

 Diana, Dan, Liz and Amanda Welch have written an intense, vibrant glimpse into their lives, an extraordinary saga. Again, Bravo! Reviewed by Marilyn S
