I thought this memoir was very well written and engaging. I was so captivated by her life, especially her girlhood. I picked this up from a senior home’s library because it was so mysterious: no checkout history, very little information about it online, and no summary. I love reading feral girlhood books, and the beginning half of her life encapsulated that niche genre so well. Reading about her life with her first husband was incredibly frustrating and sad because she deserved so much better and sacrificed so much, but she was self aware about that and included all of her thought processes for why she felt she had to stay in an often abusive relationship.
