Synopsis

A stunning memoir that chronicles Jeannette Walls's unconventional and often harrowing childhood with brilliant but deeply dysfunctional parents who dragged their four children through a nomadic life of poverty and chaos. Despite growing up with an alcoholic father and an eccentric artist mother who frequently left them hungry and homeless, Walls recounts her resilience and eventual escape to New York City with remarkable honesty and without self-pity. This compelling true story explores the complex bonds of family, the impact of poverty, and the indomitable strength of the human spirit.
