A true eye-opener

This book really makes you realize the sadness and the struggles that some people in this world must endure. It is a very sad book, and makes you second guess our country's foster system, and orphanages. I highly recommend this book, it will make you laugh, and it will make you cry, but in the end you will find yourself wanting to do more to help the lives of children in the same situations as little Jennings. If this book has accomplished nothing else, it has accomplished making people realize what the homes are like for homeless children, and makes them want to make a difference in them. Awesome Book!

portrait of child abuse

Although the story was about Jennings and his bewildering forays into the foster care system, as well as his emotional, intellectual and psychological resilience, the secondary character that puzzled me most was the mother. There are so many unanswered questions. Personally I suspect undiagnosed clinical depression and the possibility of other mental illness. This is definitely a hard-luck family, fractured by poverty, alcoholism, and on the mother's part, an unwillingness? ignorance? about discipline and consistency. I recommend this book as a teacher; I know that children go through this. I grew up in a very stable home with both parents, and with a lot of consistency in my life, so this book opened my eyes to other ways of living and what others have to go through to survive and thrive.

They Cage the animals at night

Growing up was hard for me. As the oldest of three, eventually five, with a mon addicted to crack cocaine, I moved from hosue to house, from school to school. Though always with family. When I read this book I cried until I couldn't cry anymore. Selective amnesia has made it difficult to remember the simplest of things but I will never forget this book and its incredible author, that taught me not that life is rough but that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I read this book almost ten years ago, during a time in my life when I wished to end it all but this book gave me the courage to go on and now at 22 yrs of age I am happier than I've ever been.
