Amazing story of a family who struggles in poverty, especially the hardship on their children and what they had to go through to just to survive. Did the parents neglect their children? Of course. Was there also something to be learned in the struggle these kids had to go through? Possibly. This isn't some boring biography; the reader takes you through what this family and their kids had to endure that would make your jaw drop. It goes to show the mentality of these two parents who were perfectly capable of working and providing for their family, and just simply didn't want to.
