Written from a child's perspective

I read this article today and I would like to read her book. It is written from the perspective of a girl at the age of 7 was taken world cruising by her parents. Not a rosey account. I realize there are as many different experiences as there are people. And not all cruisers may be equally neglectful. But it's an interesting perspective worth understanding if only for parents to avoid a similar outcome or understand their children from their perspective on family choices. It's a tough decision to take your children cruising. Over years I've only read about how wonderful it was/is for children but those were all from the adults perspective. This is the first time I've read about a negative experience. At any rate I find this interesting.
