Catherine Gildiner recounts her remarkable coming-of-age in the 1960s with the same wit, candour and exhilarating storytelling that has made Too Close to the Falls a modern classic. When Cathy McClure is thirteen years old, her parents make the bold decision to move to suburban Buffalo in hopes that it will help Cathy focus on her studies and stay out of trouble. But "normal" has never been Cathy's forte, and leaving Niagara Falls and Catholic school behind does nothing to quell her spirited nature. As the 1960s dramatically unfold, Cathy takes on many personas -- cheerleader, vandal, HoJo hostess, civil rights demonstrator -- with the same gusto she exhibited as a child working split shifts in her father's pharmacy. But when tragedy strikes, it is her role as daughter that proves to be most challenging. "From the Hardcover edition."
