Opis

It's 1963, and eleven-year-old Laura Randall learns that her mother has attempted suicide. In hopes of changing her parents' self-absorbed, alcoholic behavior, Laura sets out to reinvent herself as a good girl. If she's successful, surely her Mom won't try to kill herself again. Naive yet headstrong, Laura won't admit she's ill-equipped to change her parents; and it's doubtful she realizes how much she depends on her two sisters-one for support, the other for opposition. She becomes good at trading off her own happiness in order to fulfill her goal, but there's one challenge she hasn't anticipated: She's growing up. With the pressure of doing the right thing pulling at her core, she wonders if being a bad girl is the best way to be a good girl. (This is an adult novel, not suitable for children.)"
