Through The Looking Glass - Darkly

About the Book

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—DARKLY is based on real life experiences suffered by two children deserted by their mother at an early age. They were thrust into a life of emotional and physical abuse in a foster home, where they remained for 14 years. Released to their father as teens, they ran headlong into unfamiliar territory. They fought their way to becoming productive adults. Their innate ability to survive life’s trials, given the absence of love and nurturing, was a hard lesson in growth and maturity. And this they did, becoming the best they could be.
