adventurous emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

jeanette writes about her childhood in such a way that you almost forget she's experienced these things and she's not a character in a dramatic fiction story. her writing voice is so distinct and enrapturing that i couldn't help but keep reading, even during the hard sequences that made me pause. will definitely be re-reading at a slower and more thoughtful pace.

Deeply emotional and not to be read in one sitting. Enlightens how life in the Appalachian region largely affects vulnerable groups.
