I don’t want to play the “who had it worse?” game but it’s hard not to compare this to some other memoirs and think to myself what the hell are you whining about? You haven’t faced any real hardship. It’s impossible to not think about how minor struggles can be a person’s complete undoing, yet someone who essentially started life at rock bottom and has had to fight for decades just to get to even ground can still rise above and flourish.
The story’s timeline is jumbled around in that way many memoirs are but I didn’t mind it as much here as I have in others. So much of her life was shaped by chaos so why should her story be told in a straight line?
