She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb | Summary & Study Guide

Dolores remembers that she was four years old when her father gave in to the demands of Mrs. Masicotte to become her employee. He'd painted for her before that as a contractor. When he went to work for Mrs. Masicotte, he painted his truck peach, painted her name on the side, and began collecting rent on her properties on Saturdays. Dolores recalls that the watching television became her focal point and that she seldom wanted to do anything else.
