What Members Thought
Fantastic (but not always positive nor happy) story of life with an adventure loving but alcoholic Father and hippy-ish Mother. As has been said before, what is most remarkable is that the author always writes with love and respect about her parents who, driven by demons I don't thoroughly understand, often made terrible, selfish choices that could have destroyed all of their children.

An intense but wonderful book.
Phenomenal read, and remarkably absorbing. One of the first books I've read in a while that was hard to put down. I can't wait to read her Wild Horses book next.

This was another emotionally challenging book I've really enjoyed. It's one of the only books that have brought me to tears. I passed it on to everyone at work, and haven't heard a complaint yet.

Hard to believe but apparently true story of a homeless family from the daughter's perspective.
