ceilingloft's review against another edition

It's a very well written book but the detailed descriptions of trauma and abuse were too much for me. I can see why people really like the book though

This book made me feel things I've never felt before. For a moment, it made me feel like I'm a part of the Carpenter Family, witnessing everything through my own eyes. Miss Betty Carpenter and her story will forever be etched in my soul. Tiffany McDaniel, thank you so much for writing such an exquisite story, sharing the history of your family. I wish Goodreads had an extra star for books like this.
