Wonderful fulfilling story

It was a part so devastatingly sad I almost stopped reading the book. I am so glad I continued. It wasn’t incredible story. A beautiful journey. Satisfying ending.

Stand stand the narrator!

Revisado: 01-29-24

It's like she's trying to whisper the book while keeping it exciting. She is soooooo wrong for this book. She would be so much better for maybe a pre teen book. Ugh, I just can't finish this story....

I loved this book!

Revisado: 04-15-21

I can honestly say this book has been one of my favorite memoirs I’ve ever read. The author speaks from her heart and bares her true soul with such honesty, I felt like I was living her life right alongside of her. With each document piece of paper she pulls from her mother’s strong box it gives her better clues but just as often, opens up more mysteries to who her father is. But she powers on with impressive tenacity.

I can whine on and on about my own imperfect childhood and my parents’ inadequacies, but reading what the author has been through made me appreciate the charmed life I really had. I didn’t have a stepfather who said horrible things to me when he thought I was asleep. Nor an alcoholic mother who put me last on her list of priorities. Overnight, Terry Sue had been stripped of all love, left vulnerable and mentally alone with no one to hold onto and lead her to safety. There was no one to tell her that everything’s going to be okay and was forced to be strong and resourceful all on her own at such a young age.

Reading her beautifully constructed sentences and creative vocabulary, it was hard to imagine this woman could have reading disabilities. I realized how many things in my own life I take for granted. But, how she kept an identity of who she was and where she was going next proves what strength she has inside when most others would find an excuse to wallow in self-pity. The author admits to her failures and wrongdoings without blaming them solely on her upbringing and has learned to overcome them with the courage she’s learned from survival.

It was a joy listening to the author’s beautiful voice narrating her own memoir like a seasoned voiceover actress. I appreciated what I learned about the beauty salon business and insights into the male-biased legal system.

I felt inspired by how the author crafted her amazing story and can only imagine what an incredible hairstylist she must be.

Beautiful intriguing stories but...

Revisado: 03-28-21

This was a wonderful book! But, the one older female narrator clicked her saliva so many times it made me cringe. She needs to drink more water because it’s sounds so amateur and many people are very sensitive to saliva noises. Otherwise this book was perfect—though her parts were like fingernails on a chalkboard. An editor can take her saliva noises out and you’ll have a far more successful book. I loved ALL THE STORIES!!
