Meet Delores Price. She's thirteen, wise-mouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood goodbye. Stranded in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the Mallomars, potato chips and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally orbits into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Delores is no stronger and life is no kinder.

Added to the Possessive Book Box.

Returned to me in my Possesive bookbox. I've already read this, so I'll find a new home for it :)

Putting into Bookstogive's Wrap it Up bookbox!

In one of my earliest memories, my mother and I are on the front porch of our rented Carter Avenue House watching two delivery men carry our brand-new television set up the steps.

This book returned in the Wrap It Up Bookbox #1, thanks for including it. I have not read this book before and I am looking forward to reading it and then passing it on.
