when i first started reading this book i found it hard to get into however i am glad that i did as it was truely shocking amazing. When she talks about her dad and the torture he not only put her through but also the whole family all you can feel is compassion. The book was a true eye opener. and i had no idea that her daughter was Martine Mucutchen until i got to the only point in the book that she mentions her. I could not put this book down and i finished it within a day. I would of liked to have read more about her life and i was itching to know the reason behind her brothers death. This book not only conveys the message of child abuse all abuse peaeodaphilia and poverty but also that not all celebrity parents have a charming upbringing with plenty of money to see themselves and every other person in the family through stage school and that is something completly reasuuring
