Summary of Alan Cumming's Not My Father's Son - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had a haircut at school, after which my father began teaching me basic chores, such as bringing wood and coal in for the fire, starting the fire, and setting the table. I felt a bit safer after that. #2 I had to hide the fact that I was looking for my father. I didn't want him to know that I was afraid of him. #3 I had to get away from him.
His anger was terrifying. I was being dragged all over the house, from the kitchen to the shed where we kept our bikes. #4 I was so hysterical when my father cut my hair that I wanted to die. I cried all night, and the next morning my eyes were so red and puffy they were almost closed. I told my teachers I had knocked over a jar of creosote and some had gone in my eyes.
