Exactly as she remembers it
I was trying to pass for edge-u-kated. Books and Stories Mary was allowed to hang out with the Liars' Club when she was between seven and nine years old, mar it seems her way of storytelling was influenced by what she heard. The descriptions of her parents spare no one involved, but in the end, do not condemn nor place their heads on stakes.

It is a miracle that no humans and only a pitiable cat came to harm due to this irresponsible drunk driving. The mystery I set up at the start of the book had that shape by my measure: The Liars' Club is a beauty. Poetry started as an oral art. But she couldn't see that when it came to ordinariness, she hardly seemed the woman for the job. I can't believe how much I love this book.
Why did you choose to structure your story the way you did? Gass' superlative sentence construction last on display in "Omensetter's Luck" and strangely absent from his subsequent bloated inditements?

And all of these trips without a map and without any survival gear. Sponsored Products are advertisements for products sold by merchants on Amazon. When he started one, the guys invariably fell quiet, studying their laps or their cards or the inner rims of their beer mugs like men in prayer. Mwry was a cocktail napkin with the point spread from a baseball game on which the lights had long since gone dim.
That absence of detail infuriated me almost as much as the scene itself.
It is a measure of how rapidly this transformation has taken place that the most recent edition of The Oxford Companion to American Literature, published only a dozen years ago, contains no general entry for memoirs and no specific ones for the book, Stop-time, that we can now identify as the beginning of the age of memoir, or its author, Frank Conroy. And Mary is insightful beyond measure, recalling childhood with the clear-eyed generosity of someone looking down from a possible heaven.
But I didn't come away with a sense that she had made peace with her past, nor that she had a greater understanding of what life was all This book has compelling images and moves along quickly.
In my opinion you are not right. I suggest it to discuss. Write to me in PM, we will communicate.
