Description
A 14-year-old girl suddenly finds herself hundreds of miles from home, living on the outskirts of the Potawatomi Indian reservation in Michigan’s remote Upper Peninsula. The first in a series of three memoirs, “Angel in the Upper Peninsula – A Memoir” tells the powerful story of the author’s seven-year struggle to survive loss, isolation, emotional abuse by her mother’s boyfriend and sexual exploitation at the hands of her mother’s boyfriend’s son. Preganant by age 16 by a mentally ill man 20 years her senior, the author weaves a moving and suspenseful story of strength and resilience as she narrowly escapes her abusive marriage with her two young children.
