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.
