My fav memoir ever. Jeannette’s lens through which she shares her life is beautiful. Not a happy story necessarily but I loved it

Absolutely devastating. The amount of times my mouth hung open from shock or I gestured choking someone out because of frustration was too high to count. I read this at an interesting time since I’m currently taking juvenile law and have learned a lot about the rights of children. I wouldn’t suggest this book to everyone, but I will be keeping it in my collection for those who think they can handle the subject matter.
