Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things


A little boy is taken from his loving foster parents by his eighteen-year-old mother. She neglects him, lies to him, and convinces him that she is the only person in the world who wants him. Told as a series of short stories, the book chronicles the boy's adventures on the road and in seedy motels and trailer parks with his mother and her rotating cast of boyfriends, and in the repressive, religious household of his grandparents.
