I just finish reading a book called "Letters My Mother Never Read: An Ababndoned Child's Journey" Its a really sad book. The characters in the book are Jerri the 8 year old, Billy the oldest one, Trevor and Tyler the twins, and Alice the baby born. I really liked the book and I hope the next person that reads it likes it too.

and cookies and let us sit in your kitchen."
For the first time since we arrived, Grandma
Resuba looks me full in the face.Her eye bore into
mine, blazing with hatred. She spits out her reply
"Your mother was nothing! My son had no
business marrying a women with four kids." Her voice
rises higher as she rages on.
"Ill never forgive her for marrying my son.
I'm glad she's dead, only now im stuck with you
miserable brats! Every penny and minute i spend
with you takes away from what i should be giving to
Alice. She's my flesh blood, and you're nothing, just
like your mother was."
"She shouldn't be sitting with her brothers, dressed
like that,"he said.
Grandma Resuba snaps back, "Why not? They're
alll the same; she's no different than the boys. Mind yout own
busines."
"Get ride of them before they contaminate Alice!"
she demands. Billy feels so bad, but he was only trying
to help us.
