This book reads like fiction. A very moving memoir about growing up poor and learning to take care of yourself. Jeannette Walls is now an entertainment writer for MSNBC. I met her at an author event and took away the fact that when you have to - you really can differentiate what you need versus what you want. Highly recommend this book!
