I struggle with how I want to describe this book. It was riveting, but so unsettling. This autobiography was remarkable in that the author got out and away from her upbringing as well adjusted as she did. Don't get me wrong, I'll bet she's going to be struggling for the rest of her life to undo the damage growing up the way she did caused. However, the fact that she was able to break away from her family and all their psychological problems and abuse is really impressive. Her story is never really presented in a woe-is-me way, it is presented in a very matter of fact way that is almost more unsettling. I love biographies and this is one that I will probably never forget.
