My Sarah

An emotional story set in southern KY where quiet, isolated valleys are cooled and nurtured by the gently meandering Big Sandy River. Nineteenth year old Sarah Jane Brinks and her niece, Melissa Slaughter, both physically and mentally battered by the child's drunken father, going together and survive. The death of Melissa's young mother brings the dreaded Slaughter family into their lives. Wetzel Slaughter, ashamed of what his brother has done, devotes his time and money to the rehabilitation of his battered niece and her aunt, and, in the process, loses his heart to both. The destructive effects of alcoholism are shattered by love.Barker, Maria Colema is the author of 'My Sarah' with ISBN 9781413492378 and ISBN 1413492371.
