This was an awsome book, she takes a horrible past and turns it into something inspiring, funny, and exciting. I recomend this book to all. Stryeyz77 A.K.A Korrina
When I started reading this, I didn't realize that it was actually a real memoir! When I found out it was, I was floored. The way she took an upbringing that must have been miserable, and made it light and inspiring was incredible!
Do you think that you have been deprived a rich and full life because your parents did not provide you with the type of traveling experiences that Jeanette Wall and her siblings were exposed to?
