This book altered my brain chemistry.
It was one of the first books I read as an adult, and I read it before I went to college and was exposed to other ways of growing up and different cultures etc.
Tara grows up in the Appalachian mountains in one of the most abusive, neglectful homes you can imagine.
She learns how to read through the books she is given access to, so her writing style develops in a very specific way. This is part of what made this book special - you could tell it was a genuine, true story, behind told by someone who had been through it.
This book places a spotlight on the children still living these lifestyles and awareness of the different populations and socioeconomic groups within the United States.
There is every trigger you can imagine in this book so proceed with caution.
