This review is from: On Growing Up Tough: An Irreverent Memoir (Paperback)
This book is a little bit different from her usual descriptive style, it is very direct, to the point and resonates beautifully with her readers. Yes, it is irreverent, also poignant as it relates childhood experiences that shaped this wonderful author. Only Taylor Caldwell could tell this story and tell it so well. We might call hers a dysfunctional family, and as a friend always tells me, "It can make you bitter or it can make you better. This is not a Polyanna tale that glosses over the bad. Rather this is a humorous little book that shares what went on along with exactly what Taylor Caldwell thought of what went on. I love the passage where she is asked to describe the abuse she suffers at the hands of her parents, and so she "cranks one up." And "Mrs. Buttons" still exists today.

If only...,
This review is from: On Growing Up Tough: An Irreverent Memoir (Paperback)
I would have really enjoyed this book if it had really been about her growing up, but sadly it was more about her opinions. I'm not big on reading political opinions; Talor definitely bored me with hers. I did enjoy the parts of the book that had to do with her growing up; it's a wake up call alright. If only she hadn't gone into political/social rants...
