The young woman was 14 years old and a commodity for the Olson Construction Company when she gave birth to her first son. At 18, she married the owner. By the age of 30, she had given birth to 10 children. Her husband allowed her to keep the first four babies. Her tears and pleas to keep the 3-day-old newborn ignored; her disabled unemployed husband hands the infant to his new parents. The financial transaction would pay rent and ensure food was on the table for the family of six for the next year.
Welcome to my blog. My name is Marsha. I have been blogging on and off since 2004. You will find tons of stuff about my family on this blog. I also liked to write. I also like to edit what I write over and over again. :)
