Ooh, while stressful to read, the family dynamic here was engaging! Norah is expected to be the “good child,” the one who gives her parents no stress, but she’s a worrywart and a people-pleaser. I have never read about a child of prison guards, and I didn’t know they seem to move as often as military brats. 

Also, Norah’s Spider Prison Dream was hilarious!

I'm not surprised by this originally being a memoir - the family dynamics and arguments were just so specific
