Karr, Mary

Cherry : a memoir / Mary Karr - New York : Penguin Books, 200 - 276 p. ; 20 cm

Cherry, Mary's highly-anticipated follow-up memoir, covers her life up to the age of seventeen: through deep and abiding friendships, through early and touchingly hilarious experiments with sex, through the process of self-creation a young girl goes through when there's nobody around to show her the way. The book is divided into three parts: "Elementary's End", about the summer when Mary was between the fifth and sixth grade; "Midway", about her junior high school years,and "High", about her tumultuous high school years in the early 1970s.
