Like the Kennedys Minus the Wealth and Power

By: Hussain, Brenda R.

Like the Kennedys. Minus the Wealth and Power. is the true, traumatic, and compelling account of Brenda Hussain-one of six siblings born into poverty in Indiana. Brenda, along with her brothers and sisters, were physically and mentally abused at the hands of their mother.

Brenda recounts her experiences of being homeless, moving from state to state, from condemned home to condemned home, all while suffering daily beatings. She details the excruciating hunger she and her siblings shared, and how they resorted to stealing food from their grandparents in order to survive.

Brenda and her siblings were ultimately placed in foster care. This experience led Brenda to a discovery: that life had so much more to offer aside from neglect and starvation. Unfortunately, Brenda was only allowed a five-year respite before tragedy after tragedy would strike. In the interim, there were moments of light; the birth of her two sons being among them.

Brenda must fight to keep her sanity as she strives to come to terms with her past, her son's secret, and the depression that has plagued her family since before her birth.
