Heartbreakingly heartwarming
I don't even remember when it was I first read this book, but I'll never, ever forget it.
The story is so heartbreaking and made me appreciate the childhood I had, even with the instability and pain that showed up from time to time. The heart wrenching story is so well written that you can almost feel the hands hitting you as you turn the pages and the tears stream down your face.
It amazes me that there are so many out there who go through ATROCIOUS abuse by the hands of those who are supposed to love and protect them. What amazes me even more is that those children can and do grow up to be incredible people with one of the most inspiring stories to tell.
This is one of those stories!

This book was indeed a very hard book to read. I can't imagine a child ever having to go through something like that. He does have an inspiring story to tell, but I'm also amazed by the fact that he took all the negativity in his life and made something out of himself. It's graceful, in a sense. I heard about this book from friends, and I read it out of curiosity, and I was super young. I was so greatful for my odd dysfunctional family, lol, I still am.
