My Brave Little Man: A trauma filled childhood memoir

When a very young boy and his siblings, their family challenged by deprivations imposed by an abusive and neglectful father, are abandoned to an orphanage by an intellectually disabled mother, the boy responds with amazing resourcefulness and bravery. My Brave Little Man meticulously unveils the growth of a creative and distinctive personality-from the inside out-as he overcomes a series of adversities. This memoir, a true story that had to be told, is the clear, unique voice of a survivor of the kind of childhood that is usually the undoing of less hardy souls. With novelistic flair and impressive detail, the author chronicles his first eight years in a rarely visited slice of the country.
