Thrown to the Wolves

A little girl cowers in a closet. A teen gets beaten for waiting too long to feed the dog. A young woman tries to take her life--and her mother reacts with irritation at the inconvenience. Crushed by those who should have loved her, Arabella Winters faced betrayals horrific enough to have destroyed the strongest among us. Raw, real, honest: this is a candid memoir of one woman's journey from childhood trauma into a generous and purposeful life. Yet Arabella's story doesn't end there. Her words soar beyond heartbreak to illuminate a life that, inexplicably, weaves courage through the chaos and holds to a thread of hope, no matter what..
