What's Wrong With Wende? I've known since I was young that something was wrong with me. Four-year-olds don't read newspapers. Ten-year-olds aren't supposed to be given their Mommy's wake up pills or slapped at eleven for telling on the man who raped her. I didn't mean to rob 7-11 when I was fifteen or get kicked out of the Navy at 17. I married too young and was a mommy too soon. Another marriage ended when they arrested him as a serial rapist suspected of murder. Drugs came easy with a direct line to the cook, and an organized crime affiliation. My family can't believe all I've survived, they were told I was dying twice, but God had other plans. This is the true story of my life. It hasn't always been pretty, and there's no way to sugar-coat ugly. So, if you're easily offended or faint of heart, my book may not be for you. If, on the other hand, you think your life is over cause you've made a mess of it, turn the page. Have I got a story for you?
