2 deadbeat parents, one an alcoholic, and the other self-centered, with children, and the children raising themselves in-spite of the haphazard malevolent way the parents treat them. One can't imagine the way these children are treated by these 2 people as they drag them from one hovel to another without proper clothes or enough food to eat to experience what the mama miss-labels "another adventure". If you had "normal" parents you will be amazed at how these children survived and one was able to write this interesting book.
