Publisher Description
Violence, treachery and cruelty run through the generational veins of Rick Morton’s family. A horrific accident thrusts his mother and siblings into a world impossible for them to navigate, a life of poverty and drug addiction
One Hundred Years of Dirt is an unflinching memoir in which the mother is a hero who is never rewarded. It is a meditation on the anger, fear of others and an obsession with real and imagined borders. Yet it is also a testimony to the strength of familial love and endurance.
Customer Reviews
One Hundred Years of Dirt
One of the rare books that made me laugh and cry simultaneously. Written with such feeling, Ric enabled me to experience his story as though I shared his journey in the passenger seat. Live well Ric, you and your mum deserve it!
Sensitive and engaging
love his style of writing - his insights are really satisfying and clear - raising issues that need to be recognised and doing so with humour and kindness
Incredible read
A story in which so many would not Have the language to articulate. Thank you for doing this for others who experienced similar circumstances.
