Kill Them With Kindness - A Mother–Son Memoir #1006117

Some mothers teach you how to survive the world. His taught him how to survive her—and still love her for it.

Kill Them With Kindness is the raw, deeply personal story of a son trying to navigate the complex bond with his mother—a woman who was both his storm and his only shelter. Brilliant, funny, fierce, and fractured, she left a trail of lessons that shaped Triston’s world.

From a young age, he learned to read the weather in her eyes, carry burdens no child should bear, and hold onto grace when the world gave him every reason to let go. At the center of it all sits one quiet, radical teaching she repeated like a prayer: Kill them with kindness.

Part love letter and part reckoning, this memoir walks through the tender, painful, and transformative moments of a mother-son journey. It is a story for anyone who has ever loved deeply, struggled honestly, and found the strength to keep going.
