She's Come Undone
Preview: Hear it

Mine is a story of craving an unreliable account of lusts and troubles that began, somehow, in 1956 on the day our free television was delivered.... Meet Dolores Price. Shes 13, wisemouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood goodbye. Beached like a whale in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the Mallmomars, potato chips, and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally rolls into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time shes determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before really going belly up. In this extraordinary comingofage odyssey, Wally Lamb invites us to hitch a wild ride on a journey of love, pain, and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years. At once a fragile girl and a hardedged cynic, so tough to love yet so inimitably lovable, Dolores is as poignantly real as our own imperfections. Shes Come Undone includes a promise you will never forget Dolores Price.
