Book Title: A Childhood Taken Away by a Mother and Grandfather
Author: Linda Sommer Farley
ISBN: 1413775195 Publish America - Publisher
One of the most beautiful aspects of life is the relationship and love between a mother and child. To go through life without a mother's love can be very cruel and difficult. It can easily destroy you or as in my case make you stronger. With determination you can have a wonderful life after experiencing a tough childhood.
After fifty-three years of dealing with someone who was incapable of showing me any respect or love, I can say that I have finally broken free from my mother's bondage.
After all of these years I can finally be the person who I want to be. It is as if I have just now begun to live. I will continue to write about my experiences as a child; hopefully, what I have been through will help others.
I now know that a new beginning is possible no matter what life throws your way.
Farley was born in Springfield, Illinois. She grew up in a large family where money was scarce. Her mother was not around for a great deal of her childhood. She was the sixth child of eight and had the responsibility of raising her younger siblings when no one was at home.
A sexual abusive grandfather and a mother with a gambling addiction were traumatic parts of her life.
This book contains some of Farley's life stories. She describes the difficulties and accomplishments she has experienced.
She wrote this book with the purest of intentions - TO HELP OTHERS..

A Reader from Illinois rated this book 5 of 5
Strong feelings - Excitement - Inspiring
I admire the author for writing this book. It must have been very difficult. I felt her pain but I also thought that she handled her problems in an exceptional way. With all fairness and straight forwardness I do want to tell the author that her father did love her and she should not let anyone take that from her.
