Heartbreaking and wicked: a memoir of stunning beauty and remarkable grace. Improbable friendships and brushes with death. A schoolgirl affecting the course of aboriginal politics. Elvis and cocktails and Catholicism and the secrets buried deep beneath a place that may be another, undiscovered Love Canal Lewiston, New York. Too Close to the Falls is an exquisite, haunting return, through time and memory, to the heart of Catherine Gildiner's childhood.

And what a childhood it was

This is a humourous recollection of a young Catherine Gildiners life. It was written incredibly well and is full of the innocence only a little girl can possess. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves to read.
