Memoir summary

I am reading the book, The Last Time I Wore A Dress. It is am memoir based from the life of Daphne Scholinski. At first i thought memoirs and autobiography's were boring. Then i starting reading this book and i thought yep, boring. Then i got past the sixth page and things started to get interesting. Now i can barely put the book down to write this.
The first couple of pages, the boring ones, where the ones that made me think the book was for girls. It was about make-up, dresses and all of that girly stuff. Then it stopped with the make-up and started with her life and her challenges.
She grew up without her parents caring about her. Her dad was busy and ashamed of her. Her mom just wanted her gone. When her mom got the chance she sent Daphne to a mental institution. Her mom's excuse was that she dressed too much like a guy and she had gender confusion. I thought that was really stupid; people can wear whatever they want and shouldn't be considered crazy.
One time she went to the store with her dad adn she went to the bathroom. She went into the girls one and as she left, one of the clerks brought her back up to her dad. The clerk thought she was a guy and the dad told the clerk, that she was a girl. Then she went back to the bathroom and a different clerk grabbed her. This clerk brought her to her dad. Instead of telling the clerk she was a girl, the dad pretended she was a guy and slapped her wrist.
The book is good and i recommend it for anyone who likes a good book. It makes you feel bad for her. She did nothing wrong and she got treated badly. It really makes you think about if treating them like that really helps them. Good book, READ IT.
