Description

Jared Kindred left his home and family at the age of eighteen, choosing a life of riding train cars and making friends on the street.

He was an addict for most of his short life, drinking far too much and lying about it; he was ultimately killed by an overdose. Yet he inspired the deepest love of Dave Kindred's life. Leave Out the Tragic Parts is not merely a reflection on love and addiction and loss.

It is a hard-won, and remarkably fair-minded, account of the life Jared chose for himself and the colorful people around him--people with names like Puzzles, Stray, and Booze Cop; people with stories to tell. Kindred asks painful but important questions about the lies we tell to get along, and what binds families together or allows them to fracture.

Jared's story ended in tragedy, but the act of telling it is an act of healing and redemption.

This is an important book on how to love your family, from a great writer who has lived its lessons.
