Descriere magazin:
For fans of The Glass Castle and Educated, comes mystery author Toby Neal\'s personal story of surviving a wild childhood in paradise.We never call it homeless. We\'re just camping in the jungle on Kauai...We live in a place everyone calls paradise. Sure, Kauai\'s beautiful, with empty beaches, drip-castle mountains, and perfect surf...but we\'ve been camping for six months, eating boiled chicken feed for breakfast, and wearing camouflage clothes so no one sees us trespassing in our jungle hideout. The cockroaches leave rainbow colors all over everything from eating the crayons we left outside the tent, and now a tractor is coming to scrape our camp into the river.Standing in front of the tent in my nightgown, clinging to my sister as we face the tractor, I know my own truth: I just want to be normal.But Mom and Pop are addicted.Addicted to Kauai\'s beauty, to drugs, to surfing, to living a life according to their own rules out from under their high-achieving parents\' judgmental eyes. I\'m just their red-headed, mouthy oldest kid. What I want doesn\'t matter.But I\'m smart. I will make a different life for myself someday if I keep up my grades no matter what happens.No matter how often we run out of food.No matter how many times I change schools...or don\'t go to school at all.No matter how many bullies beat me up for the color of my skin.I might be growing up wild in Hawaii, but I have dreams I\'m going to reach, no matter how crazy things get.***THIS VERSION CONTAINS COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS AND IS PRICED ACCORDINGLY.***An affecting and riveting chronicle of a singular childhood that evokes the contradictions of hippie utopian ideals in an unspoiled Hawaiian landscape long since lost. Kirkus ReviewsAs much a meditation on inner strength as it is on family dynamics, T.W. Neal\'s gorgeous memoir Freckled isn\'t one to be missed. I read it two great gulps, and I can still see the palm fronds swaying above a girl who wouldn\'t give up. Highly recommended. - Rachael Herron, author of Fast-Draft Your Memoir: Write Your Life Story in 45 HoursChildren live in unseen spaces created by contradiction. Freckled is a raw, compelling, and ultimately hopeful memoir of growing up haole on Kauai where the idyllic freedom to surf, climb trees, and play Barbies on the beach runs counterpoint to a reality of homelessness, food insecurity, prejudice, violence, and the need be the adult when parents can\'t. As outrageous as of some of the events may seem to outsiders, I know firsth
