This is not a book for the faint heart. I had to stop several times as passages brought my own traumas back up. But this is a masterwork in not only literature but life in some of the poorest parts of the United States.
Oh and she name dropped Purdue. That gets an extra star alone.

This one took me a while, as I couldn’t bear reading on twice and read different books in between.
Glad that I didn’t DNF this one.
Demon is such a great narrator, and I loved Angus & Mr Dick, Annie/Mr. Armstrong.
Never be mean in anything. Never be false. Never be cruel. I can always be hopeful of you.
