A courageous memoir from the author of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. Adopted by a dysfunctional Pentecostal couple, aged 16 she was evicted by her mother so set up home in a car and put herself through university. Written with a light touch, it is a journey of pain, humour and the will to survive and grow as a person. All this built on her love of books which, other than the bible, her mother saw as works of the devil.
