This memoir is an amazing story of survival and perseverance. From the first page, I could not put this book down and was fascinated by this woman's experiences. She grew up on the move, and her family lived in a constant state of poverty and squalor. Some of her experiences were heartbreaking and others were jaw-dropping. And some were hilarious.

This woman's story is proof that people, with determination, can change their lives and situations. A great read that I enthusiastically recommend to everyone.
