The Liars' Club brought to vivid, indelible life Mary Karr's childhood in Texas. Cherry, her account of her adolescence, set a high standard for making the personal universal. Lit follows Karr's descent into alcoholism and madness—and to her astonishing recovery. Karr's desire for a solid family is offset by her struggle with her past, leading to a period of alcohol abuse and a mental health episode. A transformative experience brings her to a new outlook. The book explores themes of addiction, recovery, motherhood, and writing, told with honesty, humor, and self-awareness.
