520    "From the celebrated poet behind bone, a lyrical memoir--
       part prose, part verse--about coming-of-age, uncovering 
       the cruelty and beauty of the wider world, and redemption 
       through self-discovery and the bonds of family    "You may
       not run away from the thing that you are  because it comes
       and comes and comes as sure as you breathe."    This is 
       the story of Yrsa Daley-Ward, and all the things that 
       happened--"even the terrible things. And God, there were 
       terrible things." It's about her childhood in the 
       northwest of England with her beautiful, careworn mother 
       Marcia; the man formerly known as Dad (half fun, half 
       frightening); and her little brother Roo, who sees things 
       written in the stars.  It's also about the surreal magic 
       of adolescence, about growing up and discovering the power
       and fear of sexuality, about pitch-gray days of pills and 
       powder and connection. It's about damage and pain, but 
       also joy. Told with raw intensity and shocking honesty, 
       The Terrible is a memoir of going under, losing yourself, 
       and finding your voice"--|cProvided by publisher.
