My Review
I wanted to review the book, based on the description. The author and I have been through similar challenges (miscarriages.). She also discussed mental illness, which explains my kids, plus a few others, running through the family. Sparrow loved to read and felt like she was different from everyone else, similar to myself.
In the book, Sparrow starts discussing her childhood. Sparrow had a mother, who did not want her. Mama took Sparrow to multiple therapists. She felt unwanted by relatives and distanced herself from family as she got older.
Sparrow also discussed suicide. She had thoughts of suicide at an early age. Lisa also battled depression.
Some parts of the book was hard to read. Like when kids threw their coats on top of Lisa or when her friend died.
The book was an interesting read. The book is available in Kindle and paperback format on Amazon. The book is also prime eligible.
