This memoir was written with forgiveness making me respect her for not only surviving such a strange childhood to become a successful, but for being able to view her past with

This is a quote from Susie herself before she passed away, “I chose it both because it expressed my contempt for my structured surroundings á la the classroom and because, not being some dopey quote from a rock group, I thought it marked me as literary.” She watched as her family went through hard times but also saw the good times.

From this you have learned that you need to find that companionship because it helps you in life and can help from making bad decisions. This is greatly needed because there should not be a situation of innocent people being killed like in Mary Shelley’s

It is hard not to feel that they are everywhere one looks. I find that if you listen to too many bad stories it leads to confidence and depression.

    I grew up in Wellston, Ohio and lived in the countryside about fifteen minutes from town. My house was a home to me and it wasn 't the greatest, but it was special to me. My big backyard consisted of many fruit trees and a grape vine, it was where I had bonfires with my family and friends, and it was where I ran free with my brother. I had a pond, “over the hill” as my brother and I would say, where we swam and fished in the summertime and sat on the deck feeding bread to the bluegill as we had conversations about life. Behind our pond was where thousands of trees stood tall and where we roamed every inch of the hidden land.
