I can't say I enjoyed reading this book, however, it is an emotional read. Tara recalls her childhood on the mountains with her family. She is not allowed to go to school. She doesn't have a birth certificate or social security card. She does not exist according to the government. She learns to maneuver her families verbal and physical abuse.  She overcomes all of this and gets her higher education which exposes her to main stream life.
