This story is as heartbreaking as it is funny. For someone to grow up so poor and with parents who are so dysfunctional is just heartbreaking. But somehow the author manages to inject humor into this sad memoir. There were times when I laughed out loud at some of things she wrote. This is definitely one of my top 10 memoirs.
