This book was so sad. Listening to Joanne tell the readers about her childhood and everything that happened to her was just heartbreaking and a little to relatable. It can be eye opening for those who had a great childhood. The author did a fantastic job of telling her childhood through her adulthood. So many things happened to her and her family. It's an amazing story of survival, breaking cycles and family. I really hope Joanne is okay and her family!
