I lost this book somewhere and have zero desire to find it, so I’m moving on.

Easy to see why this book
was in the Not My Cuppa Tea
Bookbox. Very hard to read
this bleak look at the Bean
family of Egypt, Maine.
Nevertheless, the book has
an authentic feel, capturing
the awful hopelessness of life
for some.
