Summary of Dawn Schiller's The Road Through Wonderland

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was 15 in 1976 when my parents got the call that my dad was coming home from his job in Iran. My mom was working three jobs to keep up with the payments on our house, since my dad wasn’t sending any money. #2 My father, Wayne Schiller, is a very bright man who likes being hip with his hair combed back in a cool duck’s ass and wearing his peg-leg pants. He is a master at finding a way out of an uncomfortable situation. #3 I was born in 1959 in Munich, Germany. My parents were married in December 1959 at the city hall in Munich. We lived at 718 Main Street in the big house my great-grandfather had built. Every Sunday morning, my grandmother would make crumb cake. #4 My grandmother and aunt were very religious. They were Lutheran by birth, but it seemed like Grandma wore the Bible on her dress. On her bad days, she would call on the devil and offer to send us to him if we didn’t mind going to hell.
