Rex and Rose Mary and their four children lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination, teaching them how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family. When the money ran out, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town Rex had tried to escape. As the dysfunction escalated, the children had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they found the resources and will to leave home. Yet Walls describes her parents with deep affection in this tale of unconditional love in a family that, despite its profound flaws, gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life. 541 $d 20190318. 600 17 $a Walls, Jeannette. 650 $a Biography. 650 $a Dysfunctional families $z United States $v Case studies. 650 $a Dysfunctional families $z Welch $z Welch $v Case studies. 650 7 $a Parent-Child Relations. 650 4 $a Children of Impaired Parents. 650 7 $a Poverty. 650 7 $a Poor $z Welch $z Welch $v Biography. 650 7 $a Children of alcoholics $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a Children of alcoholics $z Welch $z Welch $v Biography. 650 7 $a Homeless persons $x Family relationships $z New York. $z New York. 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. 651 4 $a West Virginia -- Welch. . 655 7 $a Case studies. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. 941 $a 1 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20190419011046.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76D7CAB8626811E9BC91764D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
