To read her work is to be inspired. She is a truly perseverant spirit." -Jennifer Lauck, author of New York Times Bestseller, Blackbird, Still Waters, Show Me the Way and Found."Michelle O'Neil is a grand gorgeous HEARTBREAKING writer. You should go and buy this book, curl up with this book, fall in love with this girl writer and shout her name from the rooftops." -Amy Ferris, author of Marrying George Clooney, Confessions of a Midlife Crises and co-editor of Dancing at the Shame Prom, sharing the stories that kept us small.

Reader Reviews

β˜…β˜…β˜…Drew

Sad, haunting, tender, true. A good first book. Starts slow (written in first-person, child) but picks up speed and emerges as a too-true tale of scrappy survival. Reads like a less-polished version of "The Glass Castle."
