This was a haunting memoir about the author's sad and tragic childhood. The book really deals with some hard issues including parental neglect, lack of family communication, and the fears and nightmares of childhood. This book was recommended to me and was not disappointing. I really hadn't read any graphic novels (or memoirs) since my youth when I devoured comic books, but this is well worth a read/look. The drawings are haunting and go hand in hand with the story. This only took about 30-40 minutes to read but it will be long-lasting in its impressions. High recommendation.
