This is probably the most moving chapter of all--I know every bit of it, even the corn ships and pop for breakfast. I was a counselor in an inner city school for 28 years. Tough.Touch and go for some. But every bit so real. Did you live a bit of this type of life?

Yes. I lived much of Merlene's childhood - poverty, alcoholism, etc. Fortunately , my mother Katy, loved me fiercely and helped me the best I could be. You might like the Katy stories. When you recover from your BArtle Clunes marathon, you might want to see this
