No Bed of Roses - Pat Carter - Bog

No Bed of Roses is the true story of a girl who was taken away from her parents and placed in a foster home at a very early age.
The treatment that she experienced there was to influence her entire life. A reconciliation with her family a few years later only added fuel to the fire and was a continuation of mental abuse. Surrounded by drugs and alcohol and bad parenting she learned to circumvent her circumstances and create a life for herself outside of the family, only to discover, in later years that decisions that she made only served to contribute to more oppression. This is the story of how she learned to rise above the pain and the anger and the unhappiness and found peace at last.
