Highly recommend in audio! The narrator is fantastic and really brings this (sad) true story to life!
TW: Child abuse (physically & mentally)
This memoir really brings to light life before CPS. David Crow is 1 of 4 siblings born to two people who should not have had children. Your heart will break for David and his siblings as they endure multiple forms of child abuse. There were a few chapters that had me laughing out loud (The Query Man, David's dad thinking he could beat up Muhammad Ali), but mostly I was just heartbroken and it is a book that will stay with me as someone who also had a traumatic childhood and resiliency to succeed despite the obstacles.
I followed the author on Instagram for additional photos and context to his story, highly recommend!
