Welcome to Litsy!

Eine Kindheit voller Gewalt, eine große Geschwisterliebe die einen alles überstehen lässt. Fast.
Carine McCandless, Schwester des Aussteiger Symbols Chris McCandless, kann nicht mehr länger schweigen, die Wahrheit muss zu Tage gefördert werden.
Schonungslos erzählt sie uns von dem Missbrauch, den Schlägen und den ständigen Unsicherheiten ihrer Kindheit. Das alles bringt uns Chris näher und erklärt, warum er ins Exil ging.

Seid mutig! ❤️

Chris McCandless und seine Geschichte und vor allem der Film "into the wild" haben mich sehr berührt. In diesem Buch berichtet uns nun seine Schwester, wie es zu seiner "Flucht" in die Wildnis kam, sie erzählt über ihre Kindheit, geprägt aus Demütigungen, Schlägen und Missbrauch.
Es wird wahrscheinlich keine leichte Kost, bringt uns Chris aber wieder ein Stück näher.
Und jeder der den Film noch nicht gesehen hat:
Anschauen!

What do you call it when you skim the entire book because you don't like the author, only stopping to read certain parts you are looking for? Is it a bail, unfinished or finished? Really want to know.

Finished this wonderful book just now. I had known about it for quite a while. And owned it a while too. Now was the perfect time to read it and revisit the story of “Into the Wild” in a new way. Carine‘s story added so much and in many ways helped my own healing from trauma. Great book especially when paired with the previous book by Krakauer.

I‘m around 75% into this book and I am really enjoying it. It is definitely not what I expected and has been healing for me as I read because of my own childhood trauma. The book has brought me to tears at times and leads me to a spirit of overcoming hardships and moving forward. I read “Into the Wild” back when it first came out and was greatly impacted by it as well.

I've seen the world, done it all
Had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant, in Bel-Air now
Hot summer nights, mid July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child🎶

Chris McCandless‘s sister shares intimate background on brother Chris and their parents. Why did he forsake civilization and crave the wilderness?

This was really excellent. What an interesting experience this book provides! This book, written by Chris McCandless‘ sister is just so brutally honest and unflinching and gives a whole new perspective of his story. If you liked Into the Wild, this is a MUST read. Caring really develops this story and enlightens the reader on Chris‘ life and journey.

I understood more about Chris McCandless after reading this book. Carine was brutally honest about her family and it makes me wonder what their family relationship is like now after this book. I think she had to honor her brother and the questions many had as to why he did what he did. #carinemccandless

This book got me out of a serious reading slump. I literally read it in two sittings, could not put it down. I‘ve read Into the Wild and seen the movie, so I was a bit skeptical going into Carine‘s account of her and her brothers life but I was so, so wrong in my skepticism. Carina writes purely and truthfully.

I've read the Krakauer and seen the film, but the sister's account is still #TBR.

I've picked up a lot of #library #books this week

I read Into the Wild 16 years ago in grad school. I was excited to read this account of Chris McCandless childhood, as told by his sister Carine. I am sure telling the truth in this book has been freeing because she and her brother have had quite the life.

Wow, mind blown. I'd read "into the Wild" and seen the movie, but now I feel I know both sides. Bravery of the author is impressive and I, glad I listened.

After reading Into the Wild, this book helped me better understamd Chris M.'s motivation and pull to a life with out human interaction.

Not so much an exposé as an emotional journey. Nothing shocking revealed that wasn't in "Into the Wild" to some extent, so if you're looking for scandal, you'll be underwhelmed, but a powerful, moving, intimate tale that's well written and, in my opinion, worth the time.

Ready to read the #truth

I read Into the Wild a while back and found it to be a hugely compelling story; I'm looking forward to reading this one now. Ebook on sale today.

Summer evening reading. It's an interesting perspective.

3.5🌟 I read this in the wrong order - before Into the Wild. Nevertheless, it was a compelling look at a very broken family. It is much more personal than Into the Wild and fills in a lot of information about Chris' state of mind and his relationship with his parents and her before he left.
