This book made me sick to my stomach. I have three children as well and would move heaven and earth to make sure they were warm and fed if I had the means to do so. The fact that the parents could earn money and chose not to care for their children, yet wouldn't let others help, made me ill. The book was well-written and I could feel the cold and hunger seeping into my bones, but the childhood they had was awful, despite the "adventures" they may have had.
