Read this book in school and it should have come with a warning, so I'll be the one to give you a heads up. This book is about abusive parents who are more interested in chasing their 'dreams' than taking care of the children they have created. Be aware that the book contains child abuse, children going hungry, terrible living conditions, mental illness, drug abuse, and goodness knows what else- these were just things that stood out to me. While this is apparently a true story, going into this book unprepared is not a good idea for many readers.
Save yourself some time and go read Educated instead.
