This was a remarkable book about resilience. I could not believe all that the children were put through and the way that most of them were able to rise above it. It was very interesting that Jeannette felt that her parents had chosen their life of poverty. It did feel that they had some options that they were not willing to explore due to their personal creed and values, twisted as they may be. This was a fascinating look at dysfunction and the love that exists between parent and child no matter what the circumstances.
