This is a very well written account of her life growing up. Her family moved from place to place living in poverty in some of the poorest areas of the country, yet the children took care of each other and all went on to become successful adults. A sad story that made me feel bad for the kids but was also somehow uplifted by the way the book was written. I stayed up way past my bed time to finish!
