Falling through the Earth : a memoir
(Adult Book)

From her father, Danielle Trussoni learned rock 'n' roll, how to avoid the cops, and never to shy away from a fight. Growing up, she was fascinated by stories of his adventures as a tunnel rat in Vietnam, where he risked his life crawling into holes to search for American POWs. Ultimately, Danielle came to believe that when the man she adored drank too much, beat up strangers, or mistreated her mother, it was because the horror of those tunnels still lived inside him. Eventually her mom gave up and left, taking all the kids except one. When everyone else washed their hands of Dan Trussoni, Danielle would not. Now she tells their story, a father-daughter relationship unlike any other. Although the Trussonis are fiercely committed to each other, theirs is a love story filled with anger, stubbornness, outrageous behavior, and battle scars that never completely heal.--From publisher description.
