Welcome to Litsy!

Both these books were 5 🌟 they were very different, but both made me cry. I now get the obsession with the Throne of Glass series!!! Lorcan and Elide ❤️

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

5 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

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.

It's hard to believe June is almost over, feels like it only started yesterday. I have two days off during this readathon, so I'm hoping to make 20 hours.

I cannot recommend this book enough.. the author describes growing up homeless and with a mother battling mental illness . Initially relieved to be put in foster care, his happiness was short-lived as he moves from home to home, facing abuse and separated from his siblings. However he has a vision and with grit and determination he works towards his goals and attends college.. a powerful, haunting and incredibly inspiring!
