Day 1
So far this book seems to only deal with these small 12 children who live with one mother who has polio in her left hand and limps when she walks. The children called that the mad walk.

I read about 4 chapters today, and I can say that this book doesn't relate to me currently, but as far as moms doing embarrassing things I can understand.

Her father, Tateh, would make her work in that store of his from night to day as soon as school was over, and she'd never really get to enjoy life. Not to mention that he would practically rap her in bed or at the beach whenever he got close enough to her. I mean HIS OWN DAUGHTER! That sickens me to the core. Plus Mameh had really a horrible life being married to Tateh. He only used her to get to America, and he didn't even love her or anything. Unlike Mameh, Ruth could escape with her boyfriend Sam, who impregnated her and half way ruined her life.
Day 3
Ma had found a man who loved her and all of her children the same. His name was.....err... I forget....oh wait I...
