A Scribner paperback memoir of a childhood spent moving between desert towns and a West Virginia mining town, raised by parents who valued imagination over stability. Jeannette Walls writes with the calm of someone who has already survived the story, which lets the reader absorb the chaos without melodrama. The book has the clean look of a memoir that found a wide readership, with the Scribner trade cover and the generous type that makes it easy to read in long sittings. Ideal reader: the reader who believes that family loyalty can be both sustaining and incomprehensible, or the person who needs evidence that children sometimes raise their parents.
