Title: Walking Through Walls
Author: Philip Smith

About the Book: After a full day of creating beautiful interiors for the rich and famous, Lew Smith would come home, take off his tie, and get down to his real work as a psychic healer who miraculously cured thousands of people. For his son, Philip, watching his father transform himself, at a moment's notice, from gracious society decorator into a healer with supernatural powers was a bit like living with Clark Kent and Superman.
My Review: This is the first memoir I've ever read, and although it won't become one of my favorite genres, it wasn't that bad. Smith tells his story in a way that keeps you entertained, while trying to figure out just what is going on. To say it's a bizarre story would be accurate. How a child can grow up in a household like that is beyond me, but I've known them to grow up in worse. Smith seems to be very independent and self-sufficient. Who wouldn't be growing up in a house where your mom and dad aren't really around much? I'm not sure I enjoy reading about other people's lives, it seems sort of intrusive. If you are a fan of memoirs, you may enjoy this, but it's not one I'd pick up again. Philip Smith is a good writer, but I just did not really care for the story.

This is in my TBR pile - sorry it wasn't great for you.
Maybe that's my problem. I'm very much the intrusive type - lol! Sorry you didn't enjoy the book and thanks for the link! :)
