Abandoned and alone, life was hard. It was Tammy against a hostile world. Orphaned on Christmas morning at nine years old, she clung to the hope that life would get better for her if only she could figure out how to escape the dysfunction that had become so normal for her. But how long will it take to figure out and how does it happen? Tammy was stuck in a life of destruction after being orphaned. But she found she didn't have to stay stuck on the road that seemed to have been given her. She just needed to listen to the still small voice that told her there is a better road. In expressing herself honestly through her journals, she slowly turned tragedy into triumph. She realized there was more meaning to life. It was up to her to find and not let it slip away unnoticed. So Tammy took a different road and never looked back until she wrote this book.
