For much of this book I was overwhelmed emotionally. The words endurance, dysfunctional, enabling,brain washing, and survival from one's family share my thoughts equally about this book. I had to keep reminding myself that this is a memoir and not a made for TV movie. Thankfully there were people in her life that saw her value and it allowed her to move and push hard from what was her normal. She definitely labored in many senses of that word.
The book title is perfect as the last page affords the real definition of her life. Well that might be true for many us really.
Once I started reading it I just couldn't stop reading it. I'd put it down then within minutes I just had to start reading more. Memorable is not a strong enough word to describe this book.
Special thanks to my niece Nicole Church for recommending this book to me.
