Chapter 15 Gifty’s mom is one strong lady -2 jobs for disgracefully low pay, juggles the needs of 2 children and when her daughter gets sick the budget is blown by medical bills.
Still she doesn’t quit, she keeps on juggling. The next time one of my pampered neighbors tries to start a political argument to prove how tough they are I may scream — “just try living with real challenges tough guy”.

Although the narration is well performed, the audio book isn’t working for me — a bit too many “I said”s and “She said”s. Reading a hardcopy will let me breeze past those little bits of detail.

What problems do we solve by identifying them? Endless circling…”

Chapter 14 — it amazes me in a country with an active “Right to Life” movement why don’t we have a safety net that insures that the children of hard-working parents get enough to eat, that ALL our precious children have access to enough food & decent shelter.
Are there little Gifties in my neighborhood and ought I do to ensure they have a chance to flourish?.

The main character, Gifty, is so well developed that I’d like to meet her, though she makes me feel a bit of a failure for wasting my potential.
Family dynamics are as mysterious as the workings of the brain — from the outside you never really know what is truly going on. Did the neighbors, teachers, fellow-church members really understand how the little-girl Gifty felt about her place in the world.
