The book discusses Pelzer's struggling with his ability to fit in and adapt to the new environment around him as he is put into foster care. It also talks about the kindness of his foster parents and other people around him as well as his inability to brush his mother aside.

This is such an amazing book! The first time I read it, I was like, omg this is the perfect book for me.
Winter 1970, Daly City, California—I‘m alone. I‘m hungry and I‘m shivering in the dark. I sit on top of my hands at the bottom of the stairs in the garage. My head is tilted backward.

Great reading by talented Di Ciruolo at Copper Dog books last night! If you haven‘t read Di‘s powerful memoir of resilience & healing by a sexual abuse survivor & veteran of the foster care system, get yourself a copy. An important read. #memoir #survivor #fostercare #resilience
I‘m just starting my first Book Fair as a newbie librarian! I was pleasantly surprised the diverse books were mixed in instead of being in a separate case as they initially planned. I‘ve gotten prize donations and books donated so everyone gets something—even if they can‘t pay! Now I just have to make it through the rest of my previews and Parent Night! Wish me luck!
pick5 stars for this moving, vivid gut-punch of a memoir. The author‘s brutally honest depiction of sexual & psychological abuse & the complex failures of the foster care system will challenge you, but her survival and hard-won hope make this a journey very much worth taking. #fostercare #trauma #memoir
pickA contemplative read about finding your place and offering a way to be that, in light of the world today, seems to make a lot of sense. This read was in stark contrast to Blood Meridian that I am reading also. These two books couldn‘t be further apart- this full of love kindness and respect- McCarthy‘s book a stream of blood, betrayal and depravity. This is a read that fixes.
Very mediocre reading month… The best were Blacktop Wasteland, The Housemaid and Any Other Family. My book spin and double Bookspin we‘re just okay.
