A wonderful read: a memoir of a girl who grew up in the South with incredible obstacles (alcoholic father, poverty, abuse) yet told her story in a way that made you relate to her ... and her determination to change her life makes it all worth it. I read this cover-to-cover one night...couldn't put it down.
A sad, but funny, story of growing up poor and ugly in the South, in a disfunctional family. How she finally beat the odds and found real change in her life. A story you will enjoy reading.
