Summary: Lynda, get a grip!!!
Review: Who edited this book? It sounds like the writings of a 9th grade dropout. Disorganized and full of self-pity! Furthermore, this woman seems like she has no sense of self-esteem at all...I mean, why would you stay with a man who beats you (her boyfriends at the time the book was written) when you were fortunate enough to escape your first husband who beat you? She starts off the book wanting everyone to feel sorry for her, yet she made poor life choices. She chose to drop out of high school, therefore making herself dependent on a man, and usually the men who want dependent women are abusive, and that is what she married. Now she writes a book hoping to cash in on her husbands' (and hers) less than honest lifestyle because "Sammy Gravano did it." This is a good book to give a teenager daughter who thinks that her only aspiration in life should be to find a flashy man who will support her (i.e. drug-dealer, thief, other low-life). The book itself was so disorganized with bits and pieces of information on events that took place here and there, and some of the years seemed way off. She talks about her daughter being in college while the same time her son is 11, when the kids are not far enough apart in age for that to have happened. My advice, get it from the library like I did, don't waste your money.
