No Room for Me: A Memoir

""Mama, Mama, come get me! Where are you?"" Those were the words of four-year-old Mary. Each day Mary's mother tied her to the backyard clothesline. No one came though she cried every day. Mary spent her childhood trying to please her mother who had kept her in a screen-wire box in the yard when she was a baby. Mary's younger sister, Esther, sought refuge at the age of four in an alter ego named Susie. Susie became Daddy's special little girl, sitting on his lap to earn nickels and dimes. Later, two other alter egos appeared. "No Room for Me" is a deeply disturbing story that is poignantly recorded through the memories of Mary. It reveals the indomitable spirit of a child determined to excel despite a lack of parental support. This account covers a sixty-three-year span in Mary's life.Faulkner, Mary is the author of 'No Room for Me: A Memoir' with ISBN 9780595667192 and ISBN 0595667198.
