Anger Is My Middle Name: A Memoir by Lisbeth Zornig Andersen
4.0
"My children have asked me several times why they aren't named Zornig like me. I tell them I didn't want to pass on the legacy of that name. I needed that name: I had to use that anger to liberate myself for my own personal inheritance. Born into light and love my children don't need that anger."

Thoughts~
A memoir of grit, resilience and inspiration!
•
Lisbeth Zornig Andersen works as an advocate for children's rights, something she is very qualified to do considering the childhood she had. Born in Denmark, into a dysfunctional and violent home, her and her brothers were in and out of foster care and institutions, lived in poverty, suffered sexually abuse, betrayal, and neglect.
•
Andersen paints a vivid picture of her hellish upbringing. She courageously published her harrowing story to educate people. Encourage others to see the signs of child suffering and speak up for thoes that cannot speak up for themselves, as she couldn't have as a child.
•
This is an emotional, heartbreaking, hard read but I appreciate Andersen's motives for putting her story out there. It would be strange to say I enjoyed this book in the traditional sense but it was a well written memoir and I'm glad I had the chance to read it.

Thank You to the publisher for sending me this book opinions are my own.
