Half a Life by Jill Ciment, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

EBy turns comic, tragic, and heartrending, "Half a Life" is a bold, unsentimental portrait of the artist as a girl from nowhere, making herself up from scratch, acting up, and finally overcoming the consequences of being the child of a father incapable of love and responsibility. "Tender, unsentimental, and filled with moments of contagious joy and heartbreak, her 'half a life' is more than most people experience in a lifetime".-"Publishers Weekly" | Half a Life by Jill Ciment, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
