THE LATCH KEY KID: A Memoir of Anhedonia by M.J. HUGHESMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A must-read memoir that highlights an important mental health issue...
The Latch Key Kid by M.J. Hughes is a compelling biography that prompts further awareness of child abuse and mental illness. By telling his story in a most candid way, the book highlights a condition known as Anhedonia: ‘a psychological condition characterized by the inability to experience pleasure in normally pleasurable acts.’
The Latch Key Kid is a powerful and inspirational story about triumph over incredible adversity. It was a brilliant read that will leave you unexpectedly feeling like a better person for having read it. It’s an impressive work by author M.J. Hughes and if he offers more work, I’d be more than willing to read it. I would highly recommend this extraordinary autobiography. A well-deserved five stars from me.
