Dominated by a forceful mother who involves her daughter in her own extra marital affairs, she proves that children may not be the best secret keepers. The trip, oft times funny as well as cruel reveals a little girl seeking approval and recognition from her adult caretakers, but instead ultimately finds herself in trouble. Convinced that even God has turned away from her, she sometimes causes the reader to laugh and sometimes to cry. In the writing, the author shares her experiences for the lessons they offer that may be useful to others who have been taught to think they are not of value to the world. There is a message here for parents, Social Workers, Psychologists and Psychiatrists and victims of childhood cruelty and suppression. The ultimate message in her story seems to be the importance of forgiveness. Warm Tears and Cold Rutabaga is written simply and honestly from the author's vivid memories. It is well worth the read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Ann Patton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1418416266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781418416263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Barbara Ann Patton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520383795455,"sku":"9781418416263","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb742d10-00c0-4447-8d8d-1994f4f46289.jpg?v=1762885226","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/warm-tears-and-cold-rutabaga-barbara-ann-patton-9781418416263","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
