The Tire Swing

Nancy's own narrative of a life with a dysfunctional family, an abusive father, a mother, loving but unable to stop the abuse and frequently just left home, leaving the children to cope. Nancy had to become the care taker and cope. She was intelligent, creative and went after a career in medicine. She became a registered nurse, a mother and a dear friend to many. She married an abusive husband, divorced, married another more abusive man who took all she had from her. She advanced in her profession, became an alcoholic and faced near death. She recovers, finds success. This is written in a lovely style without laying blame on anyone. She shows love and how her relationships with others impacted her journey.
