Publisher's Synopsis
At three years old, when her father was released from jail, she returned to live with her mother and father. The father was an alcoholic and heroin user. Her mother was overwhelmed by life and angry much of the time. Her father took this little girl to the bars with him, and from as early as three years old, prostituted her and continued this until she was a young teen. The mother consistently called her a tramp, told her she was ugly and useless, and that she better pray that some man would want her when she grew up.
When the girl cried or complained, her mother would often put the girl into a closet or dirt cellar. This family lived from one vacant and abandoned building to another. For her, this meant changing schools every few months.
At twenty-one, this young woman was sharing her life with bitter, frustrated people who expected to be short-changed by life. Excerpt from Chapter 1
This is a true story of how, now at fifty-eight years old, she lives her life fully present and aware that she is so much more than the limitations that were programmed into her ego during her childhood years. She lives the American dream of freedom, wellness, peace, and with the joy and happiness we all wish for.
