Onto book 4 of Helen Forrest's Liverpool autobiographies.

It is very interesting how Helen describes her family, particularly her mother.

Helen will recount a fact then write her mother's explanation, showing how her mother is abusive and lies and lies and steals and steals. And that's just the mother's better traits.

It's an interesting portrait of a female psychopath and the heartbreaking suffering of her victims.
