Rex and Rose Mary and their four children lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination, teaching them how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family. When the money ran out, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town Rex had tried to escape. As the dysfunction escalated, the children had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they found the resources and will to leave home. Yet Walls describes her parents with deep affection in this tale of unconditional love in a family that, despite its profound flaws, gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York|cScribner|d2006 |nAvailable via World Wide Web. 600 10 Walls, Jeannette. 650 0 Children of alcoholics|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Children of alcoholics|zWest Virginia|zWelch|vBiography. 650 0 Dysfunctional families|zUnited States|vCase studies. 650 0 Dysfunctional families|zWest Virginia|zWelch|vCase studies. 650 0 Poor|zWest Virginia|zWelch|vBiography. 650 0 Homeless persons|xFamily relationships|zNew York (State) |zNew York. 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 710 2 OverDrive, Inc.,|edistributor. 856 40 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby|uhttps:// naperville.overdrive.com/media/ACC40E35-628F-4747-88E6- 5C49762476C4 856 42 |zClick here to access excerpt|uhttps:// samples.overdrive.com/?crid=ACC40E35-628F-4747-88E6- 5C49762476C4&.epub-sample.overdrive.com
