Don’t think I even felt so extreme reactions as I felt on this book to the point that at times I had to put it down because I was feeling enraged.
Such a sad tense story. I can’t understand how people so smart can let their children who they clearly love, suffer so much. Addictions are a hell of of a bitch but shouldn’t let your kids be hungry, cold or abused like this.

The parental subject matters of this memoir are unlike anything I have ever read. The only way I can possibly describe Rose Mary and Rex are a cross between granola hippies and conservative hillbillies. This book had my emotions constantly at war - one second this family would be resilient and heartfelt, the next selfish and damaging. What a true, raw look at the complexities of humans, love, family, and growth. I highly recommend listening to Jeannette read this book as well.
