Synopsis
Rosie, the eponymous heroine of an earlier novel, lives with her family in an idyllic little California town. But things are not necessarily what they seem. Rosie's mother is an alcoholic, still mourning the death of her first husband. Rosie's stepfather is a paranoid struggling writer. And 13-year-old Rosie is being stalked by a mysterious man who watches her play tennis.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Rosie and her friends were blooming like spring, budding, lithe, agile as cats."
Industry Reviews
"[A]s strong and independent a story as one could wish for....Throughout, Anne Lamott is a writer with heart, big heart. 'Crooked Little Heart' pulses with an emotional generosity that is rare among writers of such technical competence--and that a lesser writer would turn to mush."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Karen Rile (03/23/1997)
"Though the tone is, as we've come to expect from Lamott, intimate, luminous, and wise, this novel is more one of suspense than of humor. it's about what women fear--for their children, themselves, their friends."
Boston Book Review - Kate Tuttle (04/19/1997)
"[W]hat strikes most about the novel is its emotional accuracy and its humor-filled recognition that not all problems can be solved."
Washington Post Book World - Claire Messud (04/13/1997)
"...[W]hy is there so little movement in 'Crooked Little Heart'?...What happened to the giggly, absurd character who wrote two popular nonfiction books?...Lamott's most recent novel does not run deep enough to be this still."
New York Times Book Review - Benjamin Cheever (08/17/1997)
"[T]he greater depth, complexity, and seriousness here make up for the smiley faces and rainbows."
