| (LA.) June 1, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| Excellent and well written book about a difficult childhood and yet the
author does not seem the least bit bitter in this poignant memoir of her
life. I rate it up there as well with NIGHTMARES ECHO and UNDERNEATH IT
ALL as being excellent reads. |

| This book "moves" in both senses of the word. (1) I couldn't put it
down--it was so absorbing and well written; and (2) I actually cried
reading it alone by myself at 5:00 in the morning. The book is a great
character study... read full review |

remember seeing families like hers and always wandering who they were.
