I was raised in an abusive alcoholic household on an Indian reserve in upstate New York called Akwesasne.The "Bridget's World" books are a product of my life. The contents deal with issues in which I've had to overcome.My hope is that the books give at least one child the strength to step forward, the voice needed to tell someone, and the courage to overcome the life of abuse. To let children know that they are not alone and that life CAN get better.
