#1 New York Times Bestseller A New York Times Book Review Notable Pick 1992 Los Angeles Times Book Award finalist for Fiction "An ambitious, often stirring, and hilarious book." --The New York Times Discover the beloved bestseller from the author of the novel and upcoming HBO limited series I Know This Much Is True, and follow Dolores Price on her heartbreakingly comical coming-of-age journey of love, pain, and renewal. "Mine is a story of craving: an unreliable account of lusts and troubles that began, somehow, in 1956 on the day our free television was delivered..." Meet Dolores Price. She's thirteen, wise-mouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood goodbye. Beached in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the potato chips, Pepsi, and Mallomars her anxious mother supplies. When she finally enters young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores discovers that life is not exactly kind. But she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before really going belly-up. A "memorable" (People) coming-of-age odyssey, She's Come Undone "reminds us that despite the pain we endure and cause, we must find the courage to love again" (Oprah.com).
