mouse, I didn't find her to be angry, but one main thing I didn't like about the book was that she made it sound like all people who grew up in such circumstances were destined to repeat the same mistakes and could never really love their own children. She was just a little too dogmatic. I disagreed with that part a lot. I guess like any book, you have to take away from it what seems valid to you and leave the rest, and for the most part, I found a lot of value in her book.
