Charming! If there was a second volume, I'd scoop it up! I enjoyed the storytelling, and was totally enamored with the author as a girl through age 10. What a gift for storytelling, and a blessing to have the memories. But, as her teen years came on, I was surprised at the lack of rage and contempt towards her mother. I was stuck that she no longer mentioned poverty or longing for belongings as a teen. Sadly, maybe her longing faded away. I also really enjoyed the tiny chapters! I was delighted with the pacing that they provided. Sometimes an abrupt single paragraph, sometimes five winding pages.
