I read this last week. I can’t believe what she went through..for 10 years ?

Agree!! It made me so thankful for the simple things we take for granted. Like access to a shower or razors, even pen and paper! I read the memoir from the other 2 girls also but michelle definitely had it worse than the others in my opinion

Ive watched so many interviews on YouTube about her and she doesn’t even know why she was treated the worst.

I’m going with Two: Elinor Oliphant and Justin Reed Early’s book called Street Child, A Memoir. Street Child was completely shocking for me. Read it a year ago in less than two days and it still haunts me
