Woven from humor, grief, love, and regret, Moss's memoir is the haunting story of a difficult and keenly felt life. Plagued by her family's poverty, her father's alcoholic abuse, and her painful awareness of her own malformed face, she is rescued by a life-giving appreciation for literature and art and a driving determination to achieve a life marked by beauty.A beautifully written memoir that evokes the power and compassion of the phenomenal bestseller 'Angela's Ashes'. A haunting and triumphant memoir about growing up poor and undaunted in the South. With an unflinching voice, Barbara Robinette Moss chronicles her family's chaotic, impoverished survival in the red-clay hills of Alabama.
