I loved this memoir. Although it was made into a movie, it seemed to touch on very different things. You cried for Antwone. You wanted to jump onto the pages and help him yourself. Give him a hug, something! I highly recommend this one!

During the memoir Antwone doesn’t just retell his story. He does so in the way that makes you feel as thought you’re walking alongside him during his life story. Antwone provides the reader with the insight of his child self while simultaneously displaying the wisdom he has gained in adulthood. Other reviewers have complained about the “sadness” of the book. While I do think those who may be triggered by mental, physical, and sexual abuse should not read the book such critics of sadness are ridiculous. Antwones life and especially his childhood in the foster care system accurately depict the lives of so many children. The success, wisdom, relationships, and happiness he provided and found for himself in spite of his abusers is truly inspirting.
