Description: "Lucy Lehman has a secret. Everybody admires her family but nobody knows what it's really like. Her dad is a working class hero who flies into violent rages. Her mom is a beautiful dancer (and secret pill popper) who enjoys pushing him over the edge. With humor and remarkable pluck, Nora Eisenberg tells the horrifying story of a Bronx Jewish family bent on self-destruction and two children who attempt to survive by becoming their own parents."--BOOK JACKET.
