Magpie67's Reviews > I'm Down

For me this wasn't a complete memoir even after the author puts down on paper... this is best to her recollection of events as she remembers from her early age of growing up. Mishna left out crucial details of time spent with mother on weekends after the divorce. She wasn't always stuck in this neighborhood growing up.

Issues: Really a working mother who didn't think she could get her children away from a father who was not working and the house conditions were questionable? Whether, the man had an attorney for a brother or not... I would have fought hard for my children, fought for dual custody.

The dad was an ass, a piece of crap who didn't raise his children properly, who's ego was out of control.

I saw no humor, the child was brought up white in a black neighborhood, never fit in, was sent to an all white school where wealth was prominent and thus she didn't fit in there either. Not because she was white, but because she was poor. The parents were the demise of her anxiety, stress and headaches. Mishna never knew where she should be or how she should act.

The end.... it just stops. Memoir's with cliff hangers? Weird.
