Product Description
by Lydia Constantine (Author)
Four generations of love, family, tragedy, addiction, wealth, poverty and infidelity. One family produced a handsome, but wild son and the other family, a strong-willed daughter. These two personalities wed, leading to a very interesting, but tumultuous life and one daughter, Lydia.
This culminated in a true story of a 4 year old girl's memory of serious problems that many adults have never faced. She was saved by a sense of humor you will find both amusing and heart lifting. Moved from one home to another because of family illness, she also became ill and was isolated for 3 months at the age of 5. Forced to defend one parent, while lying to the other, this only child became "street smart" at the age of 9 in order to defend herself and keep the family secret. Her life nearly came to a tragic ending when she was 11 years old.
Lydia was surrounded by small town characters in an era which was mostly innocent, but incredibly dangerous for this child. Once learning about Lydia's life in the 1940's and 1950's, you will ask yourself, do we really know what's in a child's heart or mind?
