In the hopes of giving Cathy a fresh start away from their small town, the McClures leave behind Niagara Falls and the family pharmacy to start over in suburban Buffalo. But life in a subdivision and a school filled with \"pubescent cheddar\" holds little appeal for a girl who began working at four and smoking at nine. As the quaint world of 1950s America recedes into history, Cathy dives headfirst into the 1960s. Along the way, she adopts many personas with gusto-vandal, HoJo hostess, FBI suspect, civil rights demonstrator- but when tragedy strikes at home, Cathy must take on her most challenging role yet. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As candid and compelling as Mary Karr's \u003ci\u003eThe Liars' Club\u003c\/i\u003e and Jeanette Walls's \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Castle, After the Falls\u003c\/i\u003e is an irresistible account of one girl's comingof-age during a tumultuous era and the moving tale of a rebellious spirit learning what it means to be a daughter.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119084814576,"sku":"9781101444641","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101444641_p0.jpg?v=1763686987","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101444641","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
