Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights: #1 I was not normal, and I had terrible tantrums in Lille. I was a bundle of indomitable will, full of joy and rage. I was not afraid of anything. I wanted to go to school, but my parents did not want me to.#2 Linda was a puppy that my father bought to protect the house. But she ended up sleeping in the kitchen because the nights were cold in northern France. She was eventually exiled to the unheated utility room.#3 My father trained a German shepherd to attack me if I ever tried to steal his bike. I learned my lesson, and never tried to steal his bike again. I still loved Linda just as much; I would never believe she had bitten me deliberately.
