"Clap your hands, rattle your jewelry, and twist and shout for Erin
Hosier's Don't Let Me Down....Fierce, catchy, hilarious--like your
favorite vinyl punk 45--this bird can sing. A glorious memoir." --
Brando Skyhorse, author of Take This Man This fierce and witty
memoir about a father-daughter relationship "is a beautifully
written, honest, and often funny account of what it is to grow up
as a woman" (Nancy Balbirer, author of A Marriage in Dog Years).
Erin Hosier's coming-of-age was full of contradictions. Born into
the turbulent 1970s, she was raised in rural Ohio by lapsed hippies
who traded 1960s rock 'n' roll for 1950s-era Christian hymns. Her
mother's newfound faith was rooted in a desire to manage her
husband's mood swings, which could alternately fill the house with
music or with violence. With the Beatles providing the soundtrack,
Erin grew up adoring her larger than life father, Jack. Together,
they bonded over their iconic songs, even as they inspired Erin to
question authority--both her father's and others'. Don't Let Me
Down is about a brave girl trying to navigate family secrets and
tragedies and escape from small-town small-mindedness. With her
lyrical and tender writing, Erin "doesn't shy away from the
complications and contradictions of love, sharing both the best and
the worst of her volatile, vibrant father and detailing--in her
singular and often hilarious voice, the difficulty of leaving
childhood, home, and the people who loved you first" (Cynthia
D'Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author of The Nest).
