Journalist Walls grew up with parents whos e ideals and stubborn nonconformity were their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary and their four children lived like nomads\, moving among Southwest desert towns\, camping in the mountains.

\n

When the money ran out\, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town Rex had tried to escape. As the dysfunction escalated\, the children had to f end for themselves\, supporting one another as they found the resources an d will to leave home. Yet Walls describes her parents with deep affection in this tale of unconditional love in a family that\, despite its profound flaws\, gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life.< br />
