This is a story about a child being born and growing up in a small southern town. It tells about the harm and agony that she goes through in her life time. It tells things about she sees, and some of the happiness in her life, things she has no control of. The story goes on to deal with a child abuse, wife abuse, drinking, stealing, gambling, killing and then even a man going completely mad and doing so much harm to his children. This story talks about different things that are happening on the television. Everyday, as we sit and watch it, we would like to think that these things cannot and do not happen, but believe me it could be happening to your neighbour or mine. By reading this story it will take you back in time and you will feel everything that this child felt.
