Lucinda Williams' memoir Don't Tell Anybody the Secrets I Told You is an evocative reflection on an extraordinary woman's life journey. It chronicles her traumatic childhood in the Deep South, her years of being overlooked in the music industry, and the stories that inspired her enduring songs. Williams reveals the inspirations for her unforgettable lyrics, including doomed love affairs with "poets on motorcycles" and the gothic southern landscapes of her youth. She faced record companies who told her her music was not "finished," but her fighting spirit persevered, leading to a hard-won success that spans seventeen Grammy nominations.

The narrator's father and stepmother, Jordan, would drink gin and tonics in the summer. The narrator's mother, Jordan, was not a social drinker and drank in private. When the narrator visited her in New Orleans, she slurred her words and was drinking heavily. The narrator realized her maternal instincts were taken from her by her mental illness. They were close until she passed away in 2004, but after a certain point they didn't depend on her for anything.
The narrator's mother, Lucille Fern Day, was born on December 31, 1930 and her parents were the Reverend Ernest Wyman Day and Alva Bernice Coon Day. She was obsessed with psychotherapy and was in and out of psychiatric hospitals. She had electroshock treatment and lithium, which had horrible side effects. The narrator had to pick their spots and pick their times when it was okay to engage her, as her mental illness was similar to that of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. Lucille Fern Day's father was a Methodist minister and her grandfathers were Methodist ministers.
Her mother studied music but didn't pursue a career in it. She fell in love with the piano at the age of four, but it became a symbol for what she could not do. She struggled with not having a career in music, which affected her confidence and lack thereof. She had a love-hate relationship with the piano, which was a joy and a burden at the same time. Her mental illness was more understated and subtle than Bette Davis'.
Her family used newspapers for wallpaper and insulation. The narrator's mother was born into a working-class family and had an intellectual mind. She met her father when she was studying music at LSU and was sexually molested by her father and one or more of her older brothers. The narrator's mother was diagnosed with manic depression with paranoid schizophrenic tendencies and was sent into mental hospitals from time to time. The narrator learned a lot from their mother, who was sent into mental hospitals from time to time after she had nervous breakdowns.
The narrator was born in 1953 in Lake Charles, Louisiana and was born with spina bifida. As a young child, the narrator was often sick and had an emergency tracheotomy. Things grew more difficult between the narrator and their parents after they were born, with the narrator getting the worst of it. The narrator's father was intellectually minded and was interested in Freud. His explanation for his troubles was that his mother had locked him in a closet when he was three years old.
The narrator's father was always analyzing their relationship with their mother, who was poor and had to borrow bread from the neighbors to feed them. Despite this, the narrator bonded with their father in a way that they might not have had if their mother had been more stable. When their
