Helpful Score: 2


A heartbreaking memoir. The only was I could get through it was to keep in mind that the author is a successful journalist in New York. This has to turn out okay, was my mantra. The author succeeds despite the many roadblocks and setbacks that her parents regulary subjected their children to. If there was ever a case for Child Protective Services, this was it. Well-written, but the play of events can be frustrating.
