BOOK ONE OF THE TAMMY MELLOWS SERIES
She wanted the American dream...
...but got a nightmare.
How will she survive and protect her child?
Tammy's had a plan. Move to the U.S. and follow the white picket fence dreams she'd always had. Steven seemed nice, but there were clues she'd missed. He became abusive.
After she had the baby, it got worse.
Steven was addicted to heroin.
Thrown into a life of drugs and violence, Tammy lived in fear of what Steven might be capable of and struggled alone to provide for her young son. She longed for any sign of hope. Then he hit her.
Could she escape?
Who would be there for her?
You'll be hooked from the beginning because this isn't your typical coming-of-age story and it's based upon true events.

Excerpt
She slapped her hands over her open mouth and gasped in shock. The trailer she had just spent three days diligently cleaning and trying to make it a home had seemingly been destroyed in a matter of minutes.
Every drawer had been pulled out and their broken contents were now scattered across the floor in a state of disarray. The once neatly organized stacks of plates and cups now lay in ruins beneath her feet, and the few cupboard doors that hadn’t been torn from their hinges were open and swinging freely.
Steven, still unaware of Tammy’s presence, was now in the bed- room with his back facing her. As Tammy raced in his direction, fueled with hatred, she could see the bed had been torn apart. Sheets and blankets were tossed into corners, and the mattress lay on its side against a wall.
In a blind rage, Steven was pulling everything out of the cupboards above the bed and launching their belongings around the room.
Diving between the flying objects, Tammy ran over to him. “Steven! Stop! What are you doing?” she yelled while grabbing him by the shoulders and pulling him back.
He spun around with a fiery glint in his eyes and locked his fingers around her arms. “Where is it, Tammy? What did you do with the bag?” Steven screamed as he rattled her body back and forth under his tight grip.
