As some combination of Ms. O'Neal and Ms. Petrini writes, in the synthetic-sounding first person: "I loved my big, handsome daddy and thought if I stopped sucking my thumb, that would prove it. Then, like the angel horse, he would carry me away, taking me home to live with him." The book then gives this "angel horse" the full "Mommy Dearest'' treatment, with scandalous stories of his wild partying and wilder temper. One humorous family ritual involved mimicking the way Dad foamed at the mouth. But as "A Paper Life" innocently explains, a sexual overture from one of her father's girlfriends provides "the motherly glow I was always looking for."

Another reason is because my cousin can show me the ropes, as a recent graduate from the school. So if I was to need help with anything she would know a lot more than I do so I wouldn't be lost like most freshmen are their freshman year at a new school. Then I had some friends that came along with me to college. Those coming along to college with me help me feel comfortable because I wouldn't have to be alone.
