It's sad that the government kept ignoring the signs and continue to give the kids to an abusive alcoholic mother. At the same time, this is a great book for encouragement and to show that perseverance will pay off in the end. Glad to see that all the kids have become great adults. She did not mention her brother Norman after she emancipated from her mom. I was wondering if he ever was the victim of her beatings and if he stood up to defend his younger sister Rosie.
