I highly recommend this book whether you lived this life or can't imagine living this life. This book had me in tears as I remembered my own childhood. Mine wasn't as bad as Jeannette's because I and my four siblings had two sets of wonderful grandparents who bailed my parents out over and over again and took the five of us in when my parents dropped us off at times for up to a year. As you can tell the book had a very powerful impact on me.
For anyone who might doubt how bad her childhood and parents were let me tell you that there are many of us who have lived the same type of life she did.
