About The Book
The actual events in this novel are based on the true
story of myself: (thirty-two) and my four children
(three girls ages three, four, eight and a mentally
handicapped boy age six.)

A dramatic change occurred in my life in an instance
after my wife and the mother of these children
abandoned them without as much as saying a simple
good-bye.  She seemed to have vanished from the
face of the earth.  It would be some fifteen-years
before she would make one last attempt to contact
since the desertion and then disappeared again.

After she had abandoned us, our lives would take a
turn for the worse.  We were homeless, hungry and
rejected by our own family who put us out into the
cold winter streets.  We were brutally terrorized by
neighbors.  We had to walk five miles across  
snow-packed roads, through freezing temperatures to
buy our groceries, as well as walk late at night
another five miles through brutal cold temperatures to
a hospital when one of the children had become ill,
only to be turned away.

This story ends with my losing all four children.
