Oh my, this is quite a piece. I am already connected to this peace without having read all of it, this review has emphasized just how much the author and I might be with our childhood experiences. It's appreciated and to see the bravery she carries is inspiring.

Memoirs are not my cup of tea but I've read the review and the book seems pretty interesting. Usually people who decide to write about their lives do have something to say and this story is really heartwarming and provides a lot pondering and drawing conclusions. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I am not a fan of memoirs. I do like that she is able to remember things in such detail.

I commend the author for her valor in writing this memoir. It is not easy to uncover one's hidden skeletons. The painful memories are likely to evoke deep emotions in some readers. Wonderful book!

I am glad the author's writing leaves the reader with lasting memories of each stage she passes through, especially her childhood friends and teachers. Thanks for the review. I am adding Ouellette's book to my want-to-read shelf.

I applaud this author for sharing her story with her readers. I can't begin to imagine how difficult it must be to give us a glimpse into such sensitive events. I love that the writing adapts based on the age of the author. Congrats on the BOTD selection!
