Publisher Notes
First Line: 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.
An extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, She's Come Undone tells the story of Dolores Price, a dysfunctional, heartbreakingly comical young heroine, and her wild journey to love, pain, and renewal. "(A) saga of moral liberation".--Glamour.



Industry Reviews
"...A tour de force, a magnificent and beautiful first novel whose lyric voice and compelling story couple to make an astonishing debut."
"There's so much to love in it...I adore it."
"As you read [this book] your entire life will flash before your eyes....It's a bit like strolling down with Dick Clark on one arm, Jean-Paul Sartre on the other. It's scary, but Lord it's wonderful!"
"...A wonderful, inventive, ambitious, and, it cannot be stressed enough, hilarious first novel."
