Summary:
"A Million Heartbreaks is the heart wrenching and anger provoking chronicle of Basil Jones’s journey through parental neglect by a crack addicted mother and sexual abuse from a family rampid with a sexual abuse history. The abuse wasn’t just from within the family, it came from neighbors and babysitters as well. As a prepubescent girl, she and her brother Daniel were left in the care of a neighbor whose son sexually abused and beat both of them repeatedly while their mother was off to parts unknown. When her mother returned and was told the story, while she sought revenge and promised it would never happen again, her crack addiction ruled her. She would leave the kids alone over and over again for increasingly extended periods of time without the means to secure food and the ability to pay utilities. Soon young Basil, in an effort to survive, learned to forge her mother’s name on the welfare checks, and managed to keep food on the table and the bills paid. Time goes on Basil’s struggle to survive has taught her how to lie, steal, and cheat. Finally caught at embezzling, she is forced to re-think her life and finds salvation through God. Follow Basil’s story through abuse, tears, and salvation and a thriving new career"--Amazon.com.
