Summary
Mary Karr, a prize-winning poet and critic, grew up in a East Texas refinery town in a volatile, defiantly loving family. This memoir looks back at a painter mother, 7 times married, whose outlaw spirit could tip over in psychosis; a fist-swinging father who spun tales with his cronies at the Liars' Club; and, neighbourhood rape when she is 8.
