Part One – ‘The Start of Tragedy’
Born early spring. A beautiful baby girl. Full head of hair and wide brown eyes. So innocent so pure.
Her mother just turned 20 years old days prior. She is a beautiful disaster. She grew up in a home where her father was abusive. She ended up in foster care. A drop out. Living life with not much guidance. She fell in love with a man that was older. Her foster mother didn’t approve so she packed her things, moved in with him and was now a stay-at-home mom to his little boy. She loved them very much. She ended up pregnant at 19. Giving birth to a baby girl. Their family was growing. It was all she ever wanted. Until it wasn’t…

She wanted so badly to believe that this baby girl was made with the man she loved. However, that was not the case. She knew exactly where those wide brown eyes came from. The much older neighbor.

When her mother had returned the little girl was gone and replaced by police and Child Protective Services. Not only did she leave her child unattended the house was not fit for a child. Drugs laid around, the cupboards were empty, among other things it was the product of a single addicted mother.
She ended up with the same fate as her mother, in foster care and lost because she had been taking from her mother. The only person she had any connection with. Why was she in this home with these strangers? Where was her mother? She became increasingly angry with a temper that most foster moms refused to deal with. They would move her from home to home due to this. All the while her mother was trying to get clean. Going through hell fighting to get her daughter back…
