Eventually I run away from the convent at seventeen years of age because of a corrupt guardian who steals my yearly earnings from my first job at a doughnut shop. After I searched my family roots I am rejected and become homeless.

Raising three young children alone proved difficult because I never received any child support and had to work two jobs just to make ends meet.

With severe back problems I was disabled at age 45 yrs. old. I am now 49 and spend most of my time writing my memoir.
