Produktbeschreibung
"Exceptional...A classic American success story, Horatio Alger's "Ragged Dick "come true, told here utterly without self-congratulation or sentimentality.""--""Washington"" Post" Mary Childers's intimate and frank memoir tells the story of growing up in a family in which five out of seven children dropped out of high school and four different fathers dropped out of sight.
