As a girl who has become the number one caretaker of a blind, artistic, and mentally ill mother, Beverly chronicles her struggles in this captivating memoir that truly leaves an impression on you. Despite the author dividing herself as “strong Beverly” in school and “weak Beverly” at home, it’s hard to think of her as anything less than courageous when she has undergone so much struggle at such a young age. It’s hard to keep your eyes dry when you know deep in your soul that no child should ever go through such an ordeal.
