By Susan K. Field

At two years old when Phyllis Phillips loses her mother due to a horrific auto accident in 1929, she survives her next 17 years despite her grandmother's physical abuse, abject poverty, insidious child molestation, hellish fear, and murder attempts by her first husband. This extraordinary true story, set in rural towns of the Pacific Northwest, reveals how Phyllis finds her courage and grit to create a life, a self-made career, and a family. This beautifully written narrative of a young woman's fortitude and gentle love will inspire anyone who reads this biography.
