Share the compelling true-life story of young girl's determination to survive after the fatal accidental shooting of her 28-year-old mother. Witness the author's inner strength to survive despite the challenges of sibling separation, relocation, sexual abuse, rape, life threatening living conditions, and alcoholism.

Learn how hatred of her father transformed her into becoming an effective human rights advocate and ultimately an advocate for long-term care. The level of awareness of elder abuse, has caused nursing homes to raise the bar when it comes to taking care of elderly and disabled. The love she had for her aunt and her aunt's negligent death in a Detroit nursing home spawned her life experiences into a "web" strong enough to challenge public policy in Michigan regarding abuse and neglect of nursing home residents.
