Nope...
This book HURT. Reading Willow's story of having a manic addict mother and a distant father who's love is shown through structure and disapproval, and how she copes without healthy displays of love, hurt me. This is a good perspective on how a child can see a parent in one light, but the actuality is something completely different. But in the end, there was real, broken but honest to goodness love. Read this when you need a good, cathartic cry.
