About this ebook
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.

An excellent book for those working in the front row lines of the welfare field. An excellent book that would be great as a mandatory high school text. Family violence, generational poverty, drugs and alcohol, battlers, GLBTIQ, mental health, this book has it all.
