Viac o knihe

A heartwarming story of growing up under anything but usual circumstances. Imagine your parents woke you, a ten-year-old child, up in the middle of the night and put you on a plane to a place you've never been before-alone with your older brother. Little did she know, her childhood would be filled with abandonment and neglect from chain-smoking, bourbon-drinking parents.In The Big Life, Diana shares her painful and incomprehensible tale of what she and her brother endured while her family was on the run from the FBI. And from what and who, they had no idea. Narrated in a fascinating mix of humorous, uplifting, and heartbreaking candor, The Big Life is a triumphant memoir about the choices we all have in life, along with the resilience of the human race and a fierce determination to survive. Diana's story offers a life-changing message of hope, showing we all have a choice in life: to become a product of the circumstances we cannot control, or to rise above them while enduring them, coming out better in the end.
