An extraordinary and courageously honest memoir of life and love in a highly dysfunctional family, Walls tells an unforgettable story. A Publishers WeeklyStarred Review: "Freelance writer Walls doesn't pull her punches. She opens her memoir by describing looking out the window of her taxi... and spotting her mother on the sidewalk, "rooting through a Dumpster." Walls's parents—just two of the unforgettable characters in this excellent, unusual book—were a matched pair of eccentrics, and raising four children didn't conventionalize either of them....
