This was so easily relatable to me it was creepy. One of those books you can easily get through in a day or two, it just flowed on and on. Erlbaum didn't write in a manner like some others who seem to be proud of the stupid things they did, in fact, Erlbaum wrote in a way that seemed to make it so easily understandable to those who haven't. gone through it. She made it so easy in fact, that I'm going to hand this to my Mom to see if she'd like to read it.
While my parents were nothing like Erlbaum's Mom at that time in her life, everything else was the same for me and her and I think maybe my Mom might be able to understand that time of my life a little better after reading this.
I've read countless other memoirs "like this" in my life and none have ever moved me enough or seemed intelligent enough to let my Mother read. Erlbaum did a fantastic job and I'm going to start the sequel, Have You Seen Her, sometime very soon.
