“I held off on this one for a long, long time. When I finally pulled it off the shelf, I was awed! Frank McCourt writes so vividly and unflinchingly details his early years. Even thinking about the book makes me feel gratitude for what I have in my life. I could not stop reading this once I started, even when the pages were often desperate and sad. What surprised me was that many points are also humorous (or hilarious!) I am still inspired by this book -- about people who keep moving forward to overcome many obstacles in their way.”
