"Half way to the shopping mall, Shawn began quietly talking to me and what she shared in that conversation was the most crushing and distressing I would ever encounter. It was a conversation that no mother would ever want to hear from a child, especially her own, and one not ever forgotten as long as she lived. It literally changed my life forever."A young mother of three finds herself separated with a divorce pending, having no money, obsolete job skills and homeless, with no place to live. She goes into abject poverty within a matter of weeks, finding herself in a very old trailer with only the bare essentials and druggies as her neighbors. Terrified, she realizes she has to plan a strategy to survive, to fight furiously and passionately for the children or all their lives would be over.
