I received this complimentary book in exchange for my review. I'm so glad I chose this to read! It was very difficult to put down.From the first page, it drew me in. I found myself shocked, saddened,sometimes laughing and comparing some of her teenage feelings with mine at that age.  With everything this author lived with in her life with her alcoholic, psychotic mother and her withdrawn father, I did not get the feeling she felt sorry for herself. Instead, I felt she got through the best way she could without blaming anyone and went on to make a life for herself. I loved how the author dropped little hints to secrets throughout the book and finally brought them out in the open at the end to my astonishment.  This is one of the better memoirs I have ever read and highly recommend it.
