Apathetic. Bridget Murphy, almost eighteen, has had it with her zany family. When she is transferred to the psych ward after giving birth and putting her baby up for adoption, it is a welcome relief -- even with the manic ranting of a teen stripper and come-ons of another delusional inmate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut this oasis of relative calm is short-lived. Christmas is coming, and Uncle Albert arrives to whisk her back to the bedlam of home and the booze-soaked social life that got her into trouble in the first place. Her grandmother raves from her bed, banging the wall with a bedpan through a litany of profanities. Her father curses while her mother tries to keep the lid on developmentally delayed Uncle Rollie. The baby's father wants to sue her, and her friends don't get that she's changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn Coady\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0864926170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780864926173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Goose Lane Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Lynn Coady","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072851472639,"sku":"9780864926173","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0160686a-0110-4937-9133-6ac4e4f8c120.jpg?v=1685444307","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/strange-heaven-readers-guide-edition-lynn-coady-9780864926173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
