What an awesome book. I am so glad the author took the time to write about her life.  What people dont realize is that there are so many kids that come from the same background.  What a sad sad story.  Kudos to Di for keeping her wits and not going to the dark side.  She seemed to always be the "mom" caring and protecting her younger siblings and putting them before herself.  Children shouldnt have to grow up in that atmosphere- a home filled with alcohol and drugs plus the mental illnesses of her mother..  Mental abuse is just as wrong as physical abuse.  Diane did a wonderful job in writing this.  She made you feel like you are right by her side.  As a child of a alcoholic this was truly an inspiration to me.  I didnt have it as bad you her for sure, but there is the underlying emotion groing up with alcoholism.  My hats off to you...This was a review copy and am so glad i chose to read this one.
