I really enjoyed this book, although the word "enjoyed" puts a different spin on the life that Stacyann Chin had as a child. To have her come as far in life as she has, especially with all the obstacles that were put in her path, is proof that anyone can rise above their past and make a successful future for themselves. Read it because it was listed as a great "coming of age" novel and I teach 9th graders who are coming of age - I thought it might make an interesting "free read" for some of my students. It is actually a little deep for most of them, but the message is one that they would do well to learn, since most of them think their lives are so "oppressive".
