This was an interesting story. I'm not really a fan of memoirs in the first place but I got this for free from my college orientation and so I'd thought I'd give it a shot. It was an okay book. The writing style was very simplistic and easy to read and it didn't drag on or anything. It was an inspiring story, on both author's sides. They both went through some horrible things but they came out on the other side and didn't let it drag them down. 
 The reason I voted it three stars is just because it was a little dull at times and didn't really hook me. The story itself was interesting but I felt like I could've just read the summary on the back and gotten the same thing out of it. But that's just me. If you like memoirs, this might be your thing :)
