Review
Chambers, an editor at Glamour, writes about the aftermath of the violent and explosive divorce between her Caribbean-born parents that tore her family apart. Chambers swore allegiance to her mother even though the anger her mother had accumulated from a destructive marriage and her frustration at her inability to move beyond a secretarial job was aimed mostly at Chambers. The author also suffered abuse at the hands of her father, stepfather and a stepmother. But instead of giving up, Chambers concentrated her energies on academics and making a better life for herself. Her compelling story is a testament to will, self-respect and the ability to forgive.
