FreeLiz Scott’s memoir, This Never Happened (University of Hell), goes in search of the answers to the mysteries of her family. In her relentless quest to uncover the truth, she mines photographs and letters, leaving no one, including herself, unexamined. This is a spare work, alternately heartbreaking and darkly comic. In the end, it’s about the struggle to clear away pain to make room for compassion, and the challenge of making peace with questions that will never be answered.
