This book is about the early life of Michele E. Sweeney, and the years she lived as a young girl trying to make it in a dark world of a lot of pain and heartache. In the mist of it all, she was still trying to be the good girl that she desired to be.
From her birth to the age of 17 years of age, she had already experienced a lot of disappointments and hurts, which she had no control of. All she did was come here. Because Michele did not ask to be born here she'd sometimes ask the questions, "Why was I even born to be treated like this? Why do I have to be involved with a family like this? And how do I become the woman that I need to be when it looks like all of my family sees me as is the black sheep?"
There are no real answers to these questions, all she knows is that she was born for such a time as this, and she is going to try and make it the best way she can because she is strong, and very courageous. In addition, she is beautiful; at least that is what she keeps hearing everyone say to her.
Michele knows that she is a fighter and knows how to open up her mouth to get whatever it is she wants to say across to people. She can make it and she is determined to do so.
She has her older brother who she takes care of very well. So what if he doesn't talk that well, she understands him and no one will ever mess with him as long as she is his sister. The two of them together are all that they have and Michele will be the one to make everything all right. So what if their parents don't want them, they got each other and that is all that matters!
