From Mary Karr comes this gorgeously written, often hilarious story of
her tumultuous teens and sexual coming-of-age. Picking up where the
bestselling The Liars' Club left off, Karr dashes down the trail of
her teen years with customary sass, only to run up against the
paralyzing self-doubt of a girl in bloom. Fleeing the thrills and
terrors of adolescence, she clashes against authority in all its forms
and hooks up with an unforgettable band of heads and bona-fide geniuses.
Parts of Cherry will leave you gasping with laughter. Karr assembles
a self from the smokiest beginnings, delivering a long-awaited sequel
that is both "bawdy and wise" (San Francisco Chronicle).
