Summary from Amazon:

The second child of a scholarly, alcoholic father and an eccentric artist mother discusses her family's nomadic upbringing from the Arizona desert, to Las Vegas, to an Appalachian mining town, during which her siblings and she fended for themselves while their parents outmaneuvered bill collectors and the authorities.

Journal Entry 2 by book_drunkard at Osgood, Indiana USA on Sunday, April 19, 2020

I know what it's like to grow up poor, with an outhouse, clothing too big or too small, shoes held together with duct tape, a wood stove in the kitchen to heat our 2 bedroom house, ice on the inside of the windows in the winter, etc. but, living on a farm we always had food. 2 big gardens, fruit trees and berry bushes, chickens, pigs and cattle that we butchered. We didn't have many store bought things, Christmas gifts were usually a new coloring book and crayons.
My Mother kept our clothes clean and our house spotless and Daddy farmed and went to work every day at a low paying manual labor job. We didn't have much but after reading Jeannette Walls book, I feel as if we were rich. Most important, we were loved. I have always been thankful that my parents did the best they could to provide for us … even more so after finishing this book.
