Anger Is My Middle Name: A Memoir by Lisbeth Zornig Andersen

4.0

Anger is my Middle Name is a hauntingly raw memoir discussing the mostly devastating childhood years of the author, Lisabeth. The book takes us through the story of her young life, being poor, neglected, and abused and how she slowly started to overcome the distrust for adults and the damage they have done to her. It is a wonderfully told story, sans adult analysis, so we can understand how she was feeling at her age directly. This memoir is a heartwrenching tale of a child repeatedly let down by the adults who were supposed to protect her and how the anger from her experiences further hinders her life. Definitely an amazing memoir, that depicts the unfortunate truth of many children's lives.


Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book.
