I've mentioned these books in a couple replies, but thought they deserved their own post.
I just read "Girlbomb: A Halfway Homeless Memoir" and "Have You Found Her?", both by Janice Erlbaum. They are both memoirs, and both were fantastic (I read both of them in under a week. In the first one she is telling about her life as a "halfway homeless" teenager in NYC and her struggles with drugs and shelters and her family. The second one is about her returning to shelter where she lived for a while 20 years later as a volunteer, and about a girl she meets and falls in "love" (motherly love) with.
If you like memoirs, I definitely recommend both books!!!
Re: Book(s) rave
I'm going to add them to my list on goodreads - thanks!
Hope to get back to reading this summer!
