She soon finds herself in a variety of dire straits that includes 12 months in a maternity home and her subsequent surrender to mental illness. It would take the births of three more children<em>&nbsp;</em>to finally find the self-respect necessary to become the responsible mother her children deserved.&nbsp;<em>Not You: a memoir&nbsp;</em>details the struggles of a single mother who has the task of overcoming the self-loathing that imprisons her inside of one bad choice after another. For the woman who has been mocked and abused, has lost a baby, lost herself, or has lost her community due to decisions she's felt were necessary, this memoir will appeal to anyone who has had to find the courage to love themselves first.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
