Despite taking forever to finish this book, I really did enjoy it. It’s a story that needs to be told and a story that needs to be heard. My dad hates his southern accent. I love it so very much. I told him it sounds like a warm hug. So much of what’s in this book, minus the addiction, is what my parents have went through—the abuse, the poverty, the foster homes, the being raised by family that aren’t your parents. These people have been forgotten, kicked on, and dismissed. It’s given me a new perspective. It was a slow book and quite depressing. It was tragedy after tragedy after tragedy. But I am happy to say it had a satisfying ending with a hopeful note.
