Crooked Little Heart is absolutely brilliant." - Amy Tan "Anne Lamott is a cause for celebration." - THE NEW YORKER Rosie Ferguson, in the first bloom of young womanhood, is obsessed with tournament tennis. Her mother is a recovering alcoholic still grieving the death of her first husband; her stepfather, a struggling writer, must wrestle with his own demons.
