This real-life tale of sibling rivalry, absurd injustice, and never before thought of humor holds the readers attention as they laugh with the author through the most difficult lessons of growing up in an abusive home. Along the way, we also learn to always...always, be careful of what you wish for. Jessie wished for a sister and her Dad made it happen. When she was introduced to her new step-family she had no idea things were about to get ugly. Kimberly, the stepsister, starts a feud with Jessie that lasts well over thirty years. While Connie, the stepmother, plays a role so severe she eventually becomes known as the 'Redheaded Step-Monster from H-E-Double Hockey Sticks'. As the family expands to include more siblings, the physical and mental abuse Jessie is subjected to becomes almost intolerable. With Dad, her one-time ally turned against her, she searches for the humor to help her cope and heal.
