If someone asked you, what was your childhood like? My answer would be At times like Hurricane Katrina: swift, destructive and couldn't wait for it to be over. Rag Doll is written from vivid memories from childhood through age 20. Being raised the youngest of 9, it describes the extreme daily mood swings from our mother. Every day was different. It could be happy one minute or violent, neglectful, filthy swearing and years of constant verbal abuse. This book shares two sides. Happy cherished memories and the other side, violent actions from my mother. I guarantee Rag Doll will educate you what NOT to do or say to a child. This book is not meant to be a "Oh poor me." There were children far worse off than I, then and now. When all my brothers and sisters would gather around the kitchen table and swap individual stories of childhood it was quite an eye opener. One would always comment, I could write a book. I can't tell their stories, but I can share some of mine.

A book that seeks to update the rag doll otherwise known as Anne. It gives her an updated look for the 21st century. Part bionic and part natural materials.
