A true story of a boy born in San Francisco to a counter culture hippie type. Mom had a one night thing and became pregnant and raised her son. She struggled living her life and raising her son. She was a protest type who decided needed to get out of the city and sort of roamed the Pacific NW, living in cabins mostly with no electricity, etc. She lived on her welfare checks and with the guys she was with at the time. Eventually met up with and lived with & then married a guy from El Salvador that lied about most everything and also beat her. This book was written by her son that also lived through all this. He was around 10 to into high school age while she was with this guy. What an awful life and struggle they had to live. It was her choice to live this way and her son was along for the ride. Sounds like he has gotten through it. After being homeschooled--doesn't sound like much schooling went on, he was able to get into a public school for middle school & high school and then went to college & law school. Really kind of amazing he was able to get through all this.
There were no copies in system and posted it today & already gotten a request for it so hope to get mailed off today too.
