BURN DOWN THE GROUND: A MEMOIR by Kambri Crews — An unflinching, emotional
\nmemoir by the hearing daughter of two deaf parents, about the rampant
\ndysfunction of her rural Texas childhood and the searing violence that left
\nher father serving a twenty-year prison sentence.<\/p>\n

Successful New York producer and publicist Kambri Crews always knew that her
\nchildhood was unusual\u2013 she spent much of it in a tin shack deep with her
\nfamily in the woods of Texas. But when, in her early 30s, her charismatic
\nand adored father is sentenced to twenty years in prison for stabbing and
\nnearly killing his girlfriend, she must confront for the first time his
\nviolent, destructive behavior. In her brutally honest, completely

\nincarcerated father and revisits her unconventional family and the long road
\nshe took to her current life.<\/p>\n
