Long Way Home - 9781721197361

As the oldest of nine siblings, Ann Marie Etheridge felt compelled from her earliest years to take on a parenting role in a household battered by poverty and later, alcoholism. Long Way Home is the remarkable story of a young person learning to trust herself and take control, a journey of self-discovery by turns amusing and frightening. Set against the backdrop of the turbulent 1960's, Ann Marie's odyssey took her from the Projects of Camden, New Jersey to the palm-lined streets of Hayward, California . . . from the blind faith of childhood to the nuanced world of adulthood . . . from the role of victim, to the defender of victims. Ann Marie's triumph over adversity led her to a successful career in counseling her own struggle allowing her to better understand those of others. A compelling true story that fills the heart with hope.
