Product Information

Told in Tea’s trademark loose-tongued, lyrical style, this gritty, confessional memoir both celebrates and annihilates one girl’s tightrope walk out of a working-class slum and the lessons she carries with her. The sort vulnerability of her sister Madeline, and her quietly brutal Polish father; the doddering, sometimes violent nuns of Our Lady Of Assumption; Marisol Lewis from the projects by the creek; and Johnna Latrotta, the tough-as-nails Italian dance-school teacher who offered a slim chance for escape to every young Chelsea girl in tulle and tap shoes. A new edition of this riveting read.
