Confessions of a Redheaded Stepchild

Scott Perry is a product of your run-of-the-mill American family—19 kids, four or five moms, and two(ish) dads. Growing up in an innocent time when kids drank out of garden hoses, played Little League baseball, and poisoned their classroom guppies, his was a childhood jam-packed with bikes, bullies, grandmas, and growth spurts that slowly changed into a world of travel, trysts, Jello, and gin. Toss in a flying bull, a hypnotist, and two lovestruck mutts, and you'll get a taste of a life that began on the idyllic streets of Poplar Grove, USA.
