Stray: Memoir of a Runaway by Tanya Marquardt
4.0
Really enjoyed this one
I enjoyed the content of this memoir and the way it was told. Even in the moments where I was like "Damn, that sucks!" the author wasn't trying so hard to garner sympathy and emphasize that she was a victim. She understands that most of her readers are going to have to the common sense and basic human compassion to empathize with her just based on the raw information she shared with us. On top of the writing style, I was drawn in by the interesting choices she made in her youth. I liked reading about her experiences with the friends she made in the goth scene and developing as a writer.
