I don't think I've ever been so invested (and angry) while reading a memoir like this. I was filled with loathing for Jeannette's parents and pain for her and her siblings.
But the storytelling is second to none. You feel like you're right there beside these kids as they struggle their way through life.
This is a must read, especially for those who believe they don't or won't like non-fiction. I think this one will change your mind!
