Description

In this haunting and honest consideration, Donna Ford, writer of The Step-Child, results for the terrible abuse she endured at the hands of her stepmother. Like a small woman of five, and for six long years, Donna was physically, psychologically, and sexually abused. She was beaten, starved, and "loaned out" to neighbors who raped and molested her, and throughout her dad stood by and did nothing. Her stepmother ultimately left the household house when, Donna imagined an ordinary childhood where she'd be studied care of by the person who'd, up to this time, failed her.
