Review by: Carmella V
This is a non-fiction memoir of a young girl who grew up in southern Texas in the '60's. It focuses primarily on her dysfunctional mother and how her actions affected the author's sister and father. It is rich with detail of some shocking events. But because the author was writing about the time in her life when she was six to eight or nine years old, I wondered how her memory could be that precise. It is a wonder she survived and became a talented writer.
