    • Recommended by the lady at the check-out counter at Border's.
      A totally moving, compelling & hauntingly beautiful story! Heartbreaking too but one of the most sensitive memoirs I remember reading.

    • I love how this book puts a positive spin on countless adversities growing up. I really got a sense of what it must have been like for Jeannette to grow up with so much chaos around her but at the same time be given so many rare and precious gifts from her upbringing.

      Wow! What a life. Jeanette grew up with both parents who really liked to move around. She experienced so much as a young child. Some of what she went through was heart-breaking. Jeannette never gave the impression that she wanted to illicit sympathy. At times, I just loved her parents and then I wanted to throttle them. It is an enjoyable read. The love between the siblings is a treasure. I was sad when the book ended, because I wanted more. Which is how I feel after a really good book.

    • Iread this sometime ago, but it's a must read. I cannot believe how this person come out so normal. What a life. However, it shows how we all need to learn to except everyone for who they are.....

      Great reading.
