A moving memoir of strength and redemption, offering a revealing look at a dysfunctional yet tremendously alive and vibrant family. Rex, the father, is charismatic and enthusiastic, passing on to his children his passion for life, teaching them physics and geology, and telling them stories. However, his alcoholism transforms him into a destructive and unreliable person. The mother, a free spirit and proud painter, rejects conventional life and the responsibility of raising her children. The Walls are a wandering family that survives as best they can, with the children learning to take care of each other and escape the infernal circle into which their family turns.
