Great account of Mary Karr's dysfunctional family during her late childhood and teen years. Karr writes with great insight into her thoughts and feelings as a teen--she seems to really remember what it was like! She includes accounts of a lot of drug use and the hippie culture of the 1970s, which I found to be somewhat shocking but fascinating.
