520    "From the celebrated poet behind bone, a lyrical memoir--
       part prose, part verse--about coming-of-age, uncovering 
       the cruelty and beauty of the wider world, and redemption 
       through self-discovery and the bonds of family "You may 
       not run away from the thing that you are because it comes 
       and comes and comes as sure as you breathe." This is the 
       story of Yrsa Daley-Ward, and all the things that happened
       --"even the terrible things. And God, there were terrible 
       things." It's about her childhood in the northwest of 
       England with her beautiful, careworn mother Marcia; the 
       man formerly known as Dad (half fun, half frightening); 
       and her little brother Roo, who sees things written in the
       stars. It's also about the surreal magic of adolescence, 
       about growing up and discovering the power and fear of 
       sexuality, about pitch-gray days of pills and powder and 
       connection. It's about damage and pain, but also joy. Told
       with raw intensity and shocking honesty, The Terrible is a
       memoir of going under, losing yourself, and finding your 
       voice"--|cProvided by publisher.
