Disturbing story of author's childhood which was martyred by her father, a fundamentalist Mormon suffering from bipolar disease and attendant paranoia and her mother who was passive and acquiescent although a strong smart woman at heart. Throw in a violent brother and that's three crippling people Tara had to learn to deal with in order to survive. Against all odds, the author finally gets to go to school having missed el-hi education completely. She is so talented and brilliant that she somehow makes up for all the missing pieces in her history. Of course she's left with some psychological problems due to the brainwashing she endured. A very readable book, one that rivals The Glass Cast
