    P R A I S E

    “Ingenious… a vulnerable, revealing homage to family.”
    —Booklist

    “Despite the difficulties confronting Jonell’s family, this memoir is uplifting and amazingly positive, in some ways celebrating the ordinariness of life as well as the power of unconditional love (which I hope) most experience. Readers are likely to recognize something of their own lives in this memoir.”
