a sister's harrowing story of survival from the streets of Long Island to the farms of Idaho
They were five kids with five different fathers and an alcoholic mother who left them to fend for themselves for weeks at a time as she came and went from their lives. When Regina, the sister who looked after them and protected Rosie, the youngest, disclosed their plight to a social worker, Rosie was promptly removed and placed in foster care. But their mother kidnapped her and took her to a farm in Idaho where Rosie endured physical and emotional abuse. Like her sister Regina, Rosie found strength to overcome her life and escape.
