In the tradition of Jo Ann Beard's "Boys of My Youth," and Mary
Karr's"The""Liar's Club," Paula McLain has written a powerful and
haunting memoir about the years she and her two sisters spent as
foster children. In the early 70s, after being abandoned by both
parents, the girls were made wards of the Fresno County, California
court and spent the next 14 years-in a series of adoptive homes.
The dislocations, confusions, and odd pleasures of an unrooted life
form the basis of a captivating memoir. McLain's beautiful writing
and limber voice capture the intense loneliness, sadness, and
determination of a young girl both on her own and responsible, with
her siblings, for staying together as a family.
