vagrantheather's review against another edition
4.5
I grew up in poverty but this is a whole different level of challenging. And somehow I feel that Joseph Earl Thomas would say the same - that yeah he had it bad, but others had it worse. Abuse is like that; you normalize it to survive, you justify that others are in worse places, you feel grateful for the little liberties you have. And that feels important to me. Thomas never had to say as much for me to feel like the point was well made. So I'd say this book is deft, competent, sophisticated. Important.
I have confusing feelings about the rampant abuse portrayed and would give a strong content warning to anyone with subjects they can't tolerate. All closet skeletons are on display.
