I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my review.This brutally honest account of three children who grow up in abject poverty where both parents are alcoholics and their mother's fight with mental illness is one of the most powerful memoirs I have ever read. It is written with a grace that not many writers possess. Diane's recollection of what life was like growing up pulls you in over and over, even when you feel like your heart can't possibly handle one more sad recollection.It is a definite "must-read" for anyone. While most readers may not be able to relate, they will, however, feel compassion for Diane and her siblings.
