Jennie Morton

Opis

They Thought This Mother Was a Pushover-Until She Proved Them Wrong The deck was stacked against Jennie Morton right from the start. She was a victim of physical violence (sexual assault as a child), married at seventeen and a mother at twenty, and subject to emotional and financial torment by a string of vicious husbands and abusive boyfriends. Still, she never gave up or gave in. Even when her ex-husband used his connections in the local courts to bully her, take away two of her children, and drive her out of town, she would not be silenced. Standing Strong tells the story of Jennie's amazing, empowering journey from victim to victor. As she navigated the legal red tape that denied her access to her child, she unknowingly also embarked on a journey of self-discovery. Eventually she found herself-and an inner strength she never knew she had. Though she lost her job and her life savings due to all the litigation her ex put her through, she learned one of life's most important lessons along the way: bad things happen to good people, but you just have to keep going and stand strong.
