This book is about the life of five black children who were raised in the ghetto and who were subjected to abusive hands. I can recall so many times I was beaten, but those that I’m sharing are some of the worst ones from my memory. Verbal and mental abuse was an everyday event. Three of us survived and are still alive today to tell the story. I hope that by sharing my story, I can help someone else. Please speak up if you suspect abuse; do not look the other way. Below is a list of national hotlines. Please call if you need help. You can remain anonymous.
