Almost Unloved is a multidimensional memoir that throws you into the dark regions of real-life hardships and trials surrounding sexual and physical abuse, abandonment, and depression. She was born in San Diego as an illegitimate child, believing she was adopted. Abandoned to be raised in a small New England town, through it all, she tried many times to leave, but where could she go at such a young age, and where would that destination take her? She had a child at seventeen, married an abusive alcoholic, and tried to run away from her problems, and all she did was bring them with her wherever they went. Realizing her birth family would never accept her, she was free to make her own decisions. Her daughter was all that mattered, and she would have a better life than her mother. Ultimately, she found enough strength to spread her wings and fly into the unknown.
