This is a great short story with very good reviews. This book is about a mixed Irish and Dutch teenager who was raise in the Roaring 20’s and ran away in the late 1920’s.Only to run into the Great Depression of the 30’s. She lead her life following her emotions which got her into a lot of trouble. Betty had 8 children and raised 6 of them on her own. Always moving... being chased by bill collectors and the police. The Woman’s Rights era in the 20’s to the 60’s influenced her life. They fought for equality on the job and in the home. The organization help give her the strength to change in a world of negativity from a bias male driven society. Later in life she started controlling her emotions and thus led a better life for her self and her children. Betty became a great community leader and was highly respected from the community business owners. Betty wanted teenagers and young adults to know that they are the only thing holding themselves back from doing what is right and living a productive life. To achieve this young people need to realize that their negative thoughts and habits keeps them in a self-created ego prison molded out of mental bars that keep them in fear of success as a well-rounded adult. It is very hard to change habits and it takes true and continued commitment. It can take up to to several years to truly make the change but it greatly depends on how determined you are to make the change. Remember each new day gives a person another chance to continue their fight for changing to be the person who they really want to be.
