“Wickedly funny and always movingly illuminating, thanks to kick-ass storytelling and a poet's ear.” –Oprah.com The New York Times bestselling, hilarious tale of Mary Karr’s hardscrabble Texas childhood that Oprah.com calls the best memoir of a generation. The Liars’ Club took the world by storm and raised the art of the memoir to an entirely new level, bringing about a dramatic revival of the form. Karr’s comic childhood in an east Texas oil town brings us characters as darkly hilarious as any of J. D. Salinger’s—a hard-drinking daddy, a sister who can talk down the sheriff at age twelve, and an oft-married mother whose accumulated secrets threaten to destroy them all. This unsentimental and profoundly moving account of an apocalyptic childhood is as “funny, lively, and un-put-downable” (USA Today) today as it ever was.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I remember the feeling of fear I had when the doctor pulled my gown up to check for injuries. I was seven at the time, and had no idea what had happened, but I knew something was very wrong. #2 I was taken away by the sherriff, and I don’t remember talking to Dr. Boudreaux. I was eventually led away by the sheriff, holding Lecia, who had pretended to be asleep. #3 I was sent to my aunt and uncle’s house, as my parents were Nervous and couldn’t take me with them. I was in my twenties when Mr. Thibideaux killed his family. I liked to call myself a poet, but no one ever asked me what I was reading. #4 I would rather eat a bug than sleep on that hard pallet at the Smothergills’ house. The Smothergills had six kids, and their rules about who ate what and when were notorious.
