Don't! Put Her Down. You Put Her There!

"DON'T PUT HER DOWN, YOU PUT HER THERE." This work of fiction is loosely based upon many experiences in my life. The story focuses on the incredible highs and lows of living and growing up as a ward of the state. The two main characters are followed from childhood, through their youth, marriages, children, and triumphs. They suffer sexual abuse, neglect, and instability. The purpose, for writing this book is my desire to expose secrets that are held in families, and to share how to cope with exploitation. In away, this is a how to book; in that, the characters are forced to rise up and overcome the bullies, in their lives.
