I really don't read that many memoir's so I was hesitant to read this one. All I can say is WOW, Scheeres is an incredible writer!
She grabbed me from the first chapter and after each page I just had to read more. I was fascinated by Julia and Davids relationship. They were fighting one minute and then cheering for one another the next. True sibling rivalary.
I did wish that the book addressed the parents more, in that I would be interested in why they believed in what they did. The father was almost non-existant (except for punishment) while the mother was there a bit more often.
Such a powerful book - I had trouble reading something else for several days after finishing this one. I haven't put it up on my bookshelf yet either...I would be interested to see if my bookclub would consider this as a choice.
