When Anne-Marie Courtemanche was a little girl, she fell victim to a sadistic step-father, who physically and sexually abused her and her little sister and savagely beat their emotionally-withdrawn mother and siblings. Then her mother fled the marriage, taking some of the children...but leaving Anne-Marie behind to be tormented and abused for the rest of her childhood. Where Are You, Mom? is a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit, the effect that even a little bit of love can have on a damaged soul, and the power of sibling bonds. A shocking indictment of the failures of organized religion and social services in protecting abused children during the 1960s and '70s, it chronicles Anne-Marie's determined quest for justice in the crimes against her. As Anne-Marie rises to healing, a beacon of hope shines through. Heart-stoppingly frank and painfully emotional, this is an autobiography that will inspire other victims to seize back control of lives tainted or ruined...while deeply haunting those lucky enough to be untouched by abuse.

A Value Packed Interactive Workbook for the Whole Family. Real Life situations and Mind Provoking Questions.

This book is close enough to reality to be hilarious. I cannot tell you how many times a verse or a snippet of a song has gotten stuck in my brain and it won't go away until I write it down. Usually, though, I enjoy the freedom for my thoughts to roam unhindered while I work. I cannot tell you how many blog posts I have mentally drafted or new projects I have begun to develop while running around. I write poetry in part, for what it does for my mind!
