Summary:
A remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette's brilliant and charismatic father captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn't want the responsibility of raising a family.
