Amazing book. I laughed, I cried. I went back and forth from loving her parents creativity to hating them to feeling sorry for them to never knowing exactly what to make of them. She survived some extreme hardships but also ended up with some amazing, happy memories from childhood. But in the end I was glad to see herself pull herself out of her parents downward spiral and find a great life for herself, with food on the table every night.
