Our book club agreed we found the events portrayed in this book unsettling and, sometimes, disturbing. It's a look at a lifestyle most of us never see. It's easy to judge but, after reading this autobiography, those judgements are called into question. It's a story of triumph of will over circumstances and should give every reader a new respect for those struggling daily just to get by.
