I loved this book. It really opened my eyes. I love her courageous mindset to reach her goals against many road blocks. What an inspiring story.

This book is a fantastic and real life depiction of what it is like growing up poor in rural America. It effectively debunks the idea of the America Dream and sheds like on systematic poverty, racism and structureal discriminataion existing in socio econoic sytem in the US. One of the best books I ever read! Thanks Sarah!

Loved this memoir! So very relatable!

The imagery and the truth shared of her experience and the way the story is told is captivating. It brings back so many memories growing up in that area. I love the historical links added for depth. Truly a wonderful story.

I feel the book is too long and repetitive! I read most of the book then skipped to nearer the end & realized to my dismay I should not have wasted my money. Hotshots
