Dirty Secret by Jessie Sholl, 328 pages


This was written by the daughter of a hoarder, when we think hoarder we picture the houses packed so full of trash and items that people die, found under piles that have collapsed. In this book I discovered that there are different types of hoarders, even animal hoarders. It was interesting to see how having a parent that is a hoarder will affect someone, Jessie has overcompensated by keeping very little, and forming almost no attachments to belongings. After reading this book, I know I NEVER want to get scabies, just reading about her dealings with it made me itch.
