Abandoned, Beaten, Broken and Coming Back

About the Book

Being born into a family with seven children in the forties, the odds of being rich were very slim. Rich wasn’t what I wanted, it was love. Instead, I was abandoned. Then put into the foster system for awhile. That turned into a nightmare for my siblings and I. Love was still out of reach. Then my Dad rescued two brothers and I. Dad had remarried and we thought we were fi nally going to be a family. I have always thought of us as rubber bands. We were always being pulled one way and then another. Pulling wasn’t all our Dad did. In the end, I had to make my escape!! LOVE WAS NEVER IN REACH!!!

About the Author

This being my first book, I hope you enjoy it, and hope it might help someone who is suffering as I did. I now live very happily with my husband Karl, of forty three years, whom is retired. Our children have given us ten grandchildren, three great grandchildren and one on the way. We have been blessed in so many ways. I can’t find enough ways to praise God for how far he has brought me. No one can understand how I overcame my childhood and became the person I am today. I can’t say it was easy, but when I got myself back together, I vowed I would never live or treat my children the way I had been.
