When Jeannette Walls was four years old, her father threw her into the middle of a deep pond and said, "Sink or swim." This is just one example of the derelict and dangerous childhood created for her by her nomadic, narcissistic mother and brilliant but damaged alcoholic father. Though my heart did break for her and her siblings, Walls mends all with her warmth and compassion throughout.
