The First 22 Years Are the Hardest: coming of age with a baby on the hip and hope for happily ever after by Angela Giles Klocke
By the time she’s thirteen, Angela Giles Klocke has already been the victim of sexual assault and child abuse at the hands of different people who are supposed to love her, and she is living in poverty when she meets Dewayne. Desperate for a different life, for love and happiness and safety, she clings to him for her “happily ever after.” Instead, he uses up all her teen years and brings her into her twenties a shell of a woman. But Angela never gives up on her hope for what can be.
