Paris's story is truly harrowing. I loved listening to her tell her story and she has a very unique writing style.
I do wish she acknowledged the privilege she has more, as she used her existing privilege to springboard a lot of her life. She absolutely had terrible things happen but her story is different than other survivors because of her family's privilege.
Highly recommend as this was a super engaging read and gives a lot of insight to the congregate care system.
