When the author finally found her decrepit childhood home she hardly recognized it. But the chain of memories it triggered was crystal clear: being raised by the nuns, surviving frightening adventures with her older sister, horrid years living with "Bullyman," a heroic rescue by her teenage brother, surviving Woodstock, the sixties drug culture, bumming Europe, and living life around the world as a military spouse and loving mother. Imagine being ripped from your mother's arms, orphaned at birth, always yearning to understand what happened to your mother. Then imagine unwrapping the mystery, becoming a mother, and finding that motherhood encompassed a profound, third dimension. You will laugh, gasp, and cry, as our naive heroine, ill-equipped to function in society, struggles to make up for lost years, learns to conquer her abusers, and tackles the hardships of life with sheer determination and a sense of humor. Hail to the human spirit!
