Summary
The bad news in this real-life tale relates to conditions of abject poverty resulting from extremist parenting techniques. The good news is that the author, aided and abetted by her siblings, survives these seemingly heartbreaking circumstances. Remarkably she flourishes, exhibiting a keen appreciation for learning, self-reliance, caring for others, and, most notably, acceptance of her parents.
