"Analogy From The Author" "I was, a "normal average, separated
single working mother" trying to raise my "children" in a less than
perfect world. "I was, separated, and moving on with "my life" to
build a future for "my children" after "I left, my husband for
valid reasons of infidelity with a sixteen year old girl in our
home, and his physical, and verbal abuse towards me, with his added
alcoholism." "I worked, hard to support his career, and he became
successful and forgot he had children. I worked various jobs around
the schedules of my children whether it was a waitress, microfilm
operator, driving cab, cleaning motel rooms, bartender, delivering
balloons in costumes, whatever it took to make ends meet and give
them some advantages, "I never had." "If not, I moved on to another
job that would be. My children came first. "I was, not a perfect
mother" and by no means they were "perfect children." There is no
such manual for either one. We can never project how our "children"
will turn out, all we can do is teach them right from wrong, and
guide them in values. All "I ever wanted, was a better way of life
for my children." "We were, a "normal family" with normal problems,
and were very close until they got older and drifted apart as most
often family's do. There was always the little squabbles such as.
sisters fighting over the bathroom, the use of each other's clothes
or. Mom, "I want to use the car. "I had, strict rules in my house,
and "I never, had to use too much stern reprimand. "I would not,
tolerate "drug use" or "school dropouts." They were brought up with
"manners" and taught "respect" on all levels. As children they
were. not lazy they worked odd jobs to get the extras; "Ifelt, they
needed to earn." Whether it be babysitting, cutting grass,
shoveling snow, delivering news, papers. "They were, kept off the
streets and very active in sports. As a "single parent" it was,
very hard to protect my "children" from the. outside world but; if
a danger arose and if it could be prevented "I would, change it. As
a parent you need to provide the basic things in life for your
"children" and a "home" is one of those necessities. A home is an
investment for the future. When "I purchased my home, "I never,
dreamed "I had, a lake of raw sewage, and toxics behind it, nestled
in the woods out of site; 82 feet deep and as big a "football
field." "I also, never realized to correct this problem it would
take thirteen years and go as high as the "President Of The United
States." Never thinking the same contaminates were contaminating
the soil and water recourses through out the states. When you read
this book you will understand why I felt, as if my "children and I
were part of a western movie that was filmed in the roaring
twenties." "In my, obsession to get a deplorable situation cleaned
up that we; as "Americans" are supposedly know to have a "high
living standard" are in fact living in a "Third World County," and
we, as "Americans" should never have to accept it In nineteen
eighty one when I started to jot down notes, keep track of records
and documents "I would, have never though "I had, enough
information to base a book upon. My only intent was to improve a
"living quality"; instead "I opened, up many cans of worms and "my
eyes," as well to a "complete environmental disaster"; and when "I
realized, it was Statewide, it gained my attention. All because of
this "littletown" less then one square mile, and a population of
722 were completely ignored of the existence of "environmental
laws" that were clearly broken The contents of this book from the
beginning for me expanded over thirty two years.
