It is a window into an incredible family story filled with<br /> love, danger, laughter and heartache. The author's memoir reminds us that life, for<br /> some kids in this great country, is tough. But that some - like the author herself -<br /> manage to not only survive but thrive."<br /> -- Pedro Guerrero, CEO, Guerrero Media</p><br>
