Marilyn Lee details a true account of her life born in poverty to an alcoholic mother who accidentally killed her husband in self-defense. After her mother dies, Marilyn and her other siblings are parceled out to various foster homes. She was molested nightly at the age of five, but no one believed her. Marilyn bounces from foster home to foster home, moving steadily in situations going from bad to worse. Yet, despite these loveless environments, she eventually encountered love in the form of Jesus, and later in the man who she would marry--her high school sweetheart.
