Book Description
It took less than four hours for Sarah Bailey and her younger brother Curtis to lose everything they knew. She lost her school, her mudpie stations, her church, her father, and her name. Everything they own is packed in garbage bags as they are moved to a new foster home. It’s supposed to be a safe haven for them, but as Sarah—now called Anna—learns, their so-called safety comes at a horrific price, as she is groomed and abused by her new foster mother. But Sarah/Anna is resilient. She adapts to wearing dresses after only dressing as a boy. She befriends a wild and dangerous horse. And for her first Christmas ever, she receives a rag doll, one she carries with her still today. For a child with so little, the rag doll comes to mean so much. Based on a true story, author of Just Another Slice, Dr. Zaffarese-Dippold continues to share her foster care story in the series “Garbage Bag Life.” This book in the series sheds light on the grooming behavior of some sexual abusers, and the risk to children in the foster care system.

Book Description
Ally Burnett is a longtime educator who hoped to one day share her life story. That story has come to fruition with Happitimes: The Early Years. The story takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster as Ms. Burnett describes her childhood in vivid detail, sometimes interjecting academic insight into how she and her siblings were affected by the abuse they lived. At times, her story is heart wrenching, but true to an understanding that domestic violence reaches every corner of human existence. Ms. Burnett continues to educate students with special needs in the Nashville area and hopes to write a book 2 to give continued validation to abused children.
