A powerful and redemptive novel of love and family, from the best-selling and beloved Anne Lamott. Rosie Ferguson is seventeen and ready to enjoy the summer before her senior year of high school. She's smart, athletic, and beautiful - everything her mother, Elizabeth, and stepfather, James, hoped she could be. But as she school year draws to a close, there are disturbing signs that the well-adjusted teenage life Rosie claims to be leading is a sham, and that Elizabeth's hopes for her daughter to remain immune from the world's darker impulses are dashed. Slowly and painfully, Elizabeth and James are forced to confront the fact that Rosie has been lying to them - and that her deceptions have profound consequences on them all. Imperfect Birds is Anne Lamott's most honest and heartrending novel, exploring our human quest for connection and salvation as it exposes the traps that life can set for all of us.
