I REALLY tried to like this book. I RARELY give up on a book I've started, but this one is just so bad, I had to stop at 28%. Life is just too short and there are far too many books out there, to force yourself to finish a bad book.The story is a sad tale but told in such a choppy, childish way, that I felt like I was reading a third grader's essay or something. I guess that would be okay if it were supposed to be written in the first person, told by Amelia herself at that age. But this is a memoir by an adult looking back and should be much more grammatically correct, with far better organization of thoughts and events.I'm so sorry to sound harsh but this is my honest review.  I'm moving on to another book...
