Story
A distinctive new voice: Rex Ogle's story of starting middle school on the free lunch program is timely, heartbreaking, and true. Free Lunch is the story of Rex Ogle's first semester in sixth grade. Rex and his baby brother often went hungry, wore secondhand clothes, and were short of school supplies, and Rex was on his school's free lunch program. Grounded in the immediacy of physical hunger and the humiliation of having to announce it every day in the school lunch line, Rex's is a compelling story of a more profound hunger - that of a child for his parents' love and care.

okay but .

good story, however if you're a victim of DV then the ending where he assumes blame and forgives his abusers isn't a cycle to condone. that being said it's a reality that dv often reoccurs due to it stemming in childhood. hopefully the 2nd book in October is a better "end".

Very accurate description of CIAs disorganization
Reviewed: 09-21-20
My phone was cyberattacks while listening, I had about 12 hours remaining. The CIA uses various tactics mentioned in this, today, but fail to be caught thanks to the internet, Google, and the people that they puppet. A majority of good people working don't even know whom they're actually taking orders from and/or whom they're torturing.
