"(A) saga of moral liberation".--Glamour.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In this<i> New York Times</i> bestselling extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb invites us to hitch a wild ride on a journey of love, pain, and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years.</b> <p/><i>Mine is a story of craving: an unreliable account of lusts and troubles that began, somehow, in 1956 on the day our free television was delivered....</i> <p/>Meet Dolores Price. She's thirteen, wise-mouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood goodbye.

When she finally rolls into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before <i>really</i> going belly up. <p/>In this extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb invites us to hitch a wild ride on a journey of love, pain, and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years.
