Letters My Mother Never Read: An Abandoned Child's Journey

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.


  "Why do you hate us so much?"Isay to her.
   "When my mommy was here, you gave us milk
    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.
