dark emotional informative sad fast-paced

I think I’ll always give memoirs a 5 star unless it or the author sucks but fortunately that was not the case. This book was so harrowing and made me truly reflect on the ideals of morality and innocence. I will never forget some of the scenes from this book and it’s absolutely heartbreaking that a child had to experience this.
