This was a powerful book. Julia Scheeres went through hell (no pun intended) with ultra religous bible-thumping parents who were cold and detached, abusive to her adopted brothers, and gave their all to the Lord and missionaries. She is never self indulgent, presenting the cold truth in a sometimes matter-of-fact and sometimes humorous manner. Hopeful...but also heartbreaking.
