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).
