This memoir is without a doubt the most moving one I've ever read! Castro's ability to take the reader into her home, into the Kingdom Hall, under the trailer...all those places...with her, with her mastery of the language, kept me in my chair until I'd read the whole book in one reading.While others might have been reduced to a life of endless heartaches, Castro shows the remarkable courage to not only lift herself up, but to make a conscious decision to raise her son with the loving kindness that her life lacked, and most poignantly dedicate the raising of her son to her brother, Tony.She touches and lifts you...gives you hope. She is a masterful story teller, all the more for telling her own story.Thank you, Joy Castro! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
