Sunday: A Memoir | by Tina Louise
When Tina Louise was around six years old, she was shunted off to boarding school by her parents, who were divorcing. Sunday is her moving memoir of growing up in an uncaring world of strangers. With fidelity to the thoughts and feelings and language of a young girl, Tina writes about her childhood fears, fistfights, friends, and fantasies. A blue stone, the color of her mother's eyes, becomes her link to the world that left her behind; a childhood prank has adult repercussions; and Sunday, the day when parents visit, becomes a day of hope and dreams of reconciliation. A vivid evocation of the purity of heart, trust, and the magical belief that only children have, Sunday is a poetic expression of the power of memory and the bittersweet legacy of childhood.
