The dialog was clunky and not very believable---when will writers understand that no one says the name of the person they're talking to like five times in every conversation??? The overall structure of the story just didn't work, and would have been much better told chronologically. The device of having a current event remind you of a story from your past got old quickly and felt forced. And honestly, the bad writing made the entire story feel unbelievable.

A heartbreaking childhood filled with numerous traumas the author illustrates how her resolve lifted her out of the abyss. She takes the reader from the present and then back through her childhood. It is surprising she rose above all of the obstacles. Her story is told with exquisite detail allowing the reader to imagine each moment.
As a memoir reader I highly recommend this book.
