Description

Tamar Robinson understands a great deal about loss—more than any teen-ager must. Her younger siblings are useless, her parents are adrift in a sea of suffering, and today Tamar is losing her hair. She navigates her rugged life as best she could, not necessarily with grace, but with her own-brand of twisted wit, nonetheless. She ties the chess team with her buddy Roy, makes a component in the college production of The Wizard of Oz, buys an incredible wig, countries a bad work, gets asked to the prom (by three different men!) and assists her parents re enter the land of the living.
