About the Book
In this powerful story, Karen describes her journey from poverty, neglect, and abuse to her current position as a social worker in a county agency. Removed from her alcoholic parents at age nine, Karen was placed in an orphanage and a succession of foster homes, where she was virtually abandoned by child protection services. Through sheer will and perseverance, Karen overcame huge barriers and reached her goal of becoming a social worker.
