I could not put this one down. An excellent memoir that shows the resilience of four small children trapped in a bizarre life with an alcoholic father who is constantly between jobs while trying to "invent" things, and a spaced out and self-centered artist mother who seems to feed of the chaos her husband provides. Seeing the author and her siblings try over and over again to survive the unbelievably harsh conditions their parents force them to live in was heart-breaking at times. I found myself cheering on these kids, while at the same time wanting hit their parents over the head with a cartoon mallet to knock some sense into them. A truly inspirational story.
