Betty Tucker came of age in Belle Glade, Florida, infamous for its
poverty and violence (e.g., see the Wikipedia entry and the 2006
documentary One Percent). Her childhood was one of debilitating
poverty, borne of racism: exploitive migrant labor, multiple rapes
and other abuse, chronic illness among her family and acquaintances
... the list is long and bitter. Betty survived not only by sheer
hard work but also by nurturing a nascent belief that she deserved
better. She moved to California, earned her college degree, and
raised a family. Then, in 1997, she began a long and eventually
successful search for the twin girls she had given up for adoption
thirty years earlier. Fear, insecurity, sexual abuse, want,
neglect: This memoir will look beyond the description of these
difficulties in the author's life to examine how they stifled her
ability to shape her own life, how she acquired the tools she
needed to take more control of her life, and what impact her
choices, both intentional and unintentional, had on her life and
those of her children.
