It makes me so proud that the children have come up with their own plan to go to new York and fix their lives! The dad keeps discouraging them but they know not to listen to him and not to give up. From believing in themselves they get through their troubles which is really inspiring. This book was really good. It kept my attention through out it and I kept finding myself wondering what’ll happen next. I’m really disappointed that this is a memoir and that everything that happened, actually happened in real life, but I’m glad Jeannete still told us her story.
