A Walk Through the Valley

About the Book

Take a walk in the shoes of a mother and daughter as their lives intertwine in a turmoil relationship of love and hate and most of all, need.
Growing up in a small industrial town in the south is hard enough, but when your mother makes headlines as a murderer it is even harder.
The author tells about her life as a mentally motherless child and teenager. While her mother was available for the most part in the physical sense she lacked the emotional support that a parent should possess.
Imagine living in the bible belt, being watched by judgmental eyes, and coming from an area in the small town that is not very respected.
The roles of mother and daughter become reversed as the mother acts more like a teenager and the teenager acts more like the responsible adult.
Their lives clash and morals are questioned as you follow their relationship through years of self destruction.
This book is an example of the struggles, deception and frustration of a teenage girl who learns to deal with the hand that she has been dealt as her mother betrays her repeatedly.
