[LM_NET] SEC: On the subject of Bluford High ... "A Child Called It" read-alike

[Tish Carpinelli <carpinellit@LCMRSCHOOLS.COM>]

I recently purchased a set of the Bluford High books from Townsend Press,
and while looking through their other offerings, I came upon "Letters My
Mother Never Read" by Jerri Diane Sueck, which tells the author's life story
of the death of her mother, then abandonment by the father that had adopted
her and her siblings before her mother's death. The children went to live
with their grandmother, on the father's side, and she abused and neglected
them (though the abuse is thankfully not as graphic as Dave Pelzer!). What
followed was a life in and out of foster homes and orphanages. The story
concludes with Ms. Sueck as an adult, still overcoming issues that were the
result of her largely loveless childhood. I read it this weekend and feel
that it would be a good follow-up to "A Child Called It" and "The Lost Boy."
Also, it is only $2.00 per copy!
