I learned so much about the flaws of our child welfare system through this book. I struggled through the extremely graphic details of the sexual assault scenes though, which makes me wary to recommend it broadly to others.

westmin's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

An honestly incredible memoir about fighting tooth and nail for your own stability and happiness, deeply entwined with a critique of the so-called meritocracy. Hard to say I “enjoyed” it because it was a very difficult read, made more difficult by the fact that some of the content reminded me of my own struggles (and triumphs!).
