Description
The Longest Road: Finding Peace with the Past is a powerful, compelling and true story. Starting with the trauma of growing up poor in a dysfunctional family caught in extreme denial, Lyttle captivates her readers with tales of profound fear, pain and tragic betrayal. It is the story of a young, single mother's courageous and often desperate struggle to survive and raise a son in a life filled with hardship. It is the story of how she suffers unspeakable trauma when her son is finally reunited with the real birth father and how it all goes terribly wrong.Finally, it is a story of a mother's love for her so and her journey down the longest road to find peace and reconcile with the past. The book covers many compelling, complex issues that many of us, in some form, deal with-alienation, birthright, reunification, family of origin issues and abandonment. Shocking, real, moving and completely captivating--it is a story you will not want to put down.
