...“I’m hungry. You didn’t buy me any breakfast. Let’s stop at a diner and get something to eat,” I said as forcefully as I could. He didn’t comment, but when we passed a diner, he turned around and rode back...I finished my coffee and spotted the ladies room at the other end of the diner. “I have to go to the bathroom, I’ll be right back,” I assured him. I walked the length of the diner and went into the ladies room. I stood behind the door a few seconds. I had passed two doors on my way; one was a utility closet and the other had an exit sign over it. I opened the door a crack and, with one eye, looked down the aisle to see if he was watching for my return. Luckily he was talking to our waitress. I eased out of the door and quickly stepped to the exit, turned the knob, and slipped out.

About the Book
As a child, Patricia was abandoned by her mother and left in the care of her father and grandmother. Her father is called to war in the jungles of New Guinea, and her grandmother—not the most loving woman—refuses to care for the young girl. Patricia is put into foster care, under the watchful eye of a kind, elderly couple.
Her life in the Haggerty home is one of peace and gardening. At eight years old, she is happy there and would have remained so if not for the arrival of her cruel mother. Her mother suffers from a violent temper.
Patricia’s safe, stable life with the Haggertys is gone forever, and her trials are increased as the years go by. She has to meet them alone; a trial; a marriage; raising her kids alone. Then the challenge of her own well being has to be met and conquered. How will she meet all the obstacles? When will it all end?
