SOMEBODY'S SOMEONE by REGINA LOUISE
|
SummaryThis poignant memoir of one abandoned child's wrenching
search for some-one to love--and to be loved by--gives
compassionate voice to the plight of abused and unwanted
children everywhere. What happens to a child when her own
parents reject and abandon her? At birth, Regina Louise is
deposited by her mother in a foster home where she grows up
with the constant specter of severe beatings and other
harrowing abuses. But at 10 years old, this extraordinarily
bright and resilient child strikes out on her own. Set
adrift, she re-encounters her mother, who chooses the men
in her life over her daughter's safety, and is then foisted
upon a father she has never known, who is at first
indifferent and then emotionally abusive. She inhabits over
30 foster and group homes in her painful quest to be loved.
Distinctive and arresting, Regina's story offers a scalding
look at the life of a child no one wanted--and her
discovery of the love that for so long had eluded her.
