4.5
A beautifully written memoir about overcoming odds and preserving. Filled with anecdotes from early childhood to established adulthood, Walls paints an elaborate picture of the chaotic, adventurous, unpredictable, and difficult life her and her siblings lived under her parents roof, or lack of one. This story shows the strength of determination and sticking together.
