Jean Kurchowski lives by the motto “If it’s free, it’s for me,” which explains the mile-high pile of wood chips in the driveway, the cramped basement filled with Avon samples, and the jalopy that will only come to a stop by crashing. Spanning the course of 30 years, a mother-and-daughter relationship is put to the test due to the mother’s eccentric, compulsive hoarding habits. Beginning in the 1980s, “The Cost of Living” follows Caroline Kurchowski (C.C.) as she grows from an 8-year old girl into adulthood with single mom, Jean.
As Caroline grows up, all the normal events in a girl’s life turn into memories Caroline would rather forget. First boyfriends, school, prom, college, Spring Break – it’s never simple and it’s always an experience that leads Caroline to resent her mother, understand her mother, and appreciate her mother all at the same time.
The Cost of Living is filled with humor and sadness that explores a lifelong relationship with depth and understanding for its characters. There are many truths along the way – not merely that the incidents are based on real events – but universal truths that just about any child or parent will identify with.
