Query: Embarrassing if True

I read this book because I loved "Angela's Ashes". What I got was a story that suspended credulity and cause such a dislike of the author for capitalizing on such sordid memories (fantasies). To write about a father who was willing to offer his young daughter for his personal gain, the sexual abuse of one of the parents, and the willingness of a mother to bring up children while sitting on vast resources should be a source of embarrassment and have been kept "in the family". In fact, these episodes seemed to be made up to add a little spice to the boring narrative. There were no redeeming individuals in the book and no self-affirming experiences. The author should be ashamed of herself for capitalizing on the mental illness of her parents, if the story is true at all.
