"I loved the writing but the stories will haunt you. Think you had a bad childhood? You might not after reading this. Originally put out as fiction the author finally admitted the stories were autobiographical after the book was published. It mad me sad for the children in the stories." — Marie (4 out of 5 stars)

" supposedly based on events in her real life, although her family denies it. "
" Her childhood makes mine look normal. Crazy parents! "
" Sad, but funny. Very quick read. "
" The hardest part about this book is how accurately it portrayed child abuse. It isn't a book for the faint of heart, but with knowledge comes power. Knowing that life can be this cruel we can find ways to make it better. "
" I couldn't put this book down! "
" Child abuse, sexual, this is very graphic and disturbing which is why I only give it a 3. "
" This was a sad book...hate to see and hear of children abused or living in fear all their lives, and this story has all that. I liked Meg Tilly's writing, and would read more of her books. "
" Hard to get through some parts because of the difficult subject matter (child abuse). "
" Sining songs was a sad story about a girl growing up in an odd enviorment with odd surroundings. For instense: She had a deer for a pet. A little weird, but that's what makes a story/family unique. "
" The book is truly heartbreaking. Especially when you take into account that it's a true story. I don't think I was prepared for how graphic this book really is but at the same time I couldn't put it down. Even with all of my seat squirming I finished the book in a few hours. "
" I am so angry at the ending..... What the hell kind of ending is that!!!!!!! Don't bother. "
" I did not feel this story was well written, i could not connect with any of the characters. "
" Very good read, but very disturbing! "
" Deeply disturbing because it's based on her real life. Difficult to say "I really liked it" because of the subject matter. The writing however, merits 4 stars. Same goes for her other book, Gemma. "
" Secrets families keep from the rest of the world ... memories of authors childhood. "
" Also a good book, but Meg Tilly's books are disturbing and the sad thing is this one is autobiographical. "
" VERY good. I hoped it wouldn't end like it did, and I hope she writes a sequel. "
