Book Description
She was four when the abuse began… and 16 when it ended. The runaway scene is a heart-stopper from start to freedom–and an uncertain future. She had no choice but to become a runaway once she found out her stepmother had arranged to sell her to a stranger for $80. More terrified that she would soon be sold to a man she did not know, she left her isolated farm during a cloudy night and walked 10 terrifying miles to a railroad station. Her childhood experiences make for compelling reading and as we see her in adulthood, we recognize a woman who never allowed her abusive childhood to destroy her will to rise above it. Readers will be amazed at the life and love of this woman called Ethel. Her story is true, from start to finish. I know because Ethel was my mother.
