Cher describes her family origins in the backwoods of Missouri, where her great-grandfather, Isaac, worked on the railroad and her grandmother, Lynda, was sent to relatives because her family couldn't afford to keep her.
The memoir unfolds like an American picaresque, filled with drama, danger, and reversals in fortune that echo the narratives of Dickens novels.
One quality that sets Cher apart is her ability to poke fun at herself, showcasing a sense of humor that permeates her memoir's tone despite the dark themes.
Cher reflects on her early music career with wide-eyed enthusiasm, proclaiming, 'I felt like a million dollars!' after getting herself a new dress, highlighting her resilience and positivity.
