It's actually the only the second book of this kind that I have been able to finish. Generally, I stop at some point, or "lose" the book, or accidentally spill stuff, etc. I read one before, A Child Called It. But, it did not seem as relevant because the guy went through absolutely HORRENDOUS abuse and at the end, it's all fine and he's fine and he's a great dad. Yeah. What the **** ever.
