Very gripping story. I did find it very hard to understand parents and adults allowing children to suffer so much and placing unbelievable responsibilities on such young children. The writing was very well done as to the simplicity of the memories of a child. Although, I would have liked the story to continue further into the growing and changing of their lives in the teen and young adult years of the Author. I felt the ending was flat, just dropping off with some life facts. So I give it a 4.5 star rather than a 5.
