The Liars' Club by Mary Katt is a memoir of her childhood growing up in an oil town in east Texas. Her father was an oil man who loved to drink alcohol to excess and tell tall tales with his cronies at the bar. Her mother was an artist who married seven times. She married the author's father again and he was her last husband. She grew up in a home where the kids mostly had to take care of the parents. Between her mother's mental health problems and addiction to pills and alcohol and her father's problems with alcohol. she and her sister had little time just to be kids. The story rings true and I thought the writing was excellent.
