Momma'S Lost Piano: A Memoir

This memoir was composed after the author started having memories of events that occurred in his early lifetime, growing up in a gritty neighborhood in Depression-era Knoxville. The memories centered around his mother, Emily Merritt Madden, and her experiences dealing with poverty, a sometimes well-intentioned but never reliable husband, one son who ends up in prison and her other son, who later grows up to become one of Knoxville's greatest authors. The style of the manuscript mimics the way memories came to the author and, in some respects, the ways we recall the significant and insignificant events of our lives. The memoir is at once an intimate retelling of a fundamental relationship and a vivid evocation of an earlier place and time--
