Jeannette Walls, a worldly columnist in New York, has everything she needs to succeed. But no one could imagine her childhood: raised by a wacky, charismatic inventor father and a fanciful, irresponsible artist mother who would stir up their children’s imaginations to distract them from their poverty, Jeannette was forced to take charge of her younger siblings to keep their dysfunctional family from falling apart altogether.
