One of the most gripping books I've read in a long while. I simply couldn't put it down! I am truly amazed that this woman survived not one but many many abuses in her life. Even more amazing, this woman is now a personal friend and is absolutely one of the classiest, graceful women that I've ever known in my life. A true survivor!
A revealing walk through a strong woman's journey in life. C. C. Crittenden was kidnapped by a mother with no parenting skills. As a child & in her adult years she strives to win love and affection from her mother. Your heart goes out to this lovely child/woman as she faces life in its worst moments. Holding to her Indian heritage helps her to deal with the turmoil she lives with daily. She invites you to visit the good, the bad and the sad memories she has come to terms with over the years. Carla's memoir will shock & pull at your heart strings. She is a remarkable woman.
This book gives hope to anyone in any type of life tragedy. No matter how hard we think our lives are, there are others who have walked the path before us to lead us and guide us. C.C. Crittenden has revealed herself as a woman of great courage, strength, passion, and leadership. Without love and affection as a child and without a supportive family to help her, her spirit guided her to be a trail blazer in fields not normally traveled by a women of her time.
