Welfare Brat by Mary Childers

I just finished reading this book. It was pretty good. It told the story of the author's upbringing as a child in very poor family. She was raised by her single mother in the Bronx with her 6 siblings. It was interesting to read about what this family had to do in the face of poverty and what the author had to do as a child who was almost as helpless as she was poor. It also talks about her mother's bad decisions that affect her children negatively. It was heart wrenching and heart warming at the same time. A pretty good read to end this graveyard rotation!
