Cherry A Memoir

In this long-awaited sequel, Karr dashes down the trail of the teen years with customary sass, only to run up against the paralyzing self-doubt of a girl in bloom. She flees the thrills and terrors of sexual awakening by butting up against authority in all forms. In edgy, brilliant prose, Cherry takes readers to a place never explored with such candor- inside a girl's tempestuous adolescence. Often hilarious, its soaring close proves that form even the smokiest beginnings a solid self can form.
