This memoir vaguely reminded me of Jeanette Walls' "The Glass Castle," but wasn't as well-written. It touches on various types of child abuse and neglect, including Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome. It lacked a cohesive train of thought, in my opinion. I felt as though the story jumped around, and left many issues unresolved.
