A historical fiction novel of self-discovery, friendship and love: Ma cared little for God or me, and when I was at the end of my tether Mrs. Wallace, Rebecca, insisted I should write a story about my life. She said, "You're a survivor. Tell your story. It will help heal your wounded heart." This is the story of my struggle at the mercy of life's yo-yo string. Life thrust me up and down, out and around, and back again. How appropriate that Yo became my nickname the day Ma married mean Aunt Alma's scary son, and we moved to country. Kindness in the most unexpected places nurtured me, bringing logic and love together in an ever expanding reality and wholeness.
