For thirteen-year-old Ingrid, the answer is simple: RUN. For years, Ingrid has begged her free-wheeling dad to let her join him on the road as a tool-selling vagabond to escape the suffocating poverty and religion at home. When her devout Mormon mother marries Earl--a homeless Vietnam vet who exploits the religion's male-dominated culture to oppress and abuse her family--she finally gets her wish. Ingrid spends the next few summers living on the margins while hustling tools with her dad and his slimy, revolving sales crew. He becomes her lifeline and escape from Earl. But when he's arrested, she learns the lesson that will change her life: she can't look to others to save her; she has to save herself. 600 $a Ricks, Ingrid. 650 0 $a Children of divorced parents $x Autobiography. 650 0 $a Stepchildren $x Family relationships. 650 0 $a Fathers and daughters. 650 0 $a Problem families. 650 0 $a Abusive parents. 650 0 $a Coming of age. 650 0 $a Mormon Church. 941 $a 1 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417012525.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0DA3589C057011E3B67635CADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
