A sad, sometimes frustrating, but very moving and eventually uplifting read. By frustrating, I refer not to Ashworth's very readable style, but rather to some of the events that she describes in the book. I was almost hoping for her to murder one of her 'fathers' or have their van crash into a tree! I really felt the horror and felt sickened by the on-going abuse the author suffered, and was gladdened to see her overcome the dark times in her childhood. A must read.
