    <body><![CDATA[Heartwrenching.  Sad.  Strong.  I read this when I was on my &quot;southern streak&quot; reading binge.  A good one, especially if you like a story of tenacity in the face of adversity and poverty...  Just the kind I like!]]></body>

How she feels being in an abusive family.  How she blames herself and starts to believe she is a bad person.]]></body>
