Description

A memoir of a minority woman growing up in the ghettos of New York City shows how somebody can change into somebody successful. Despite the fact that, Mirian’s struggles began from birth she firmly believed in many things such as castles, knights in shining armor, and a large house with a picket fence. It used to be those dreams that kept her spirit alive when life became too horrendously painful. Mirian Detres used to be not only born disabled, but she has been mentally, physically, and sexually abused. Her memoirs include being locked in a closet at the age of 9 for a year, hospitalized in a mental institution as an adult for approx. 2 years and received shock treatments, been beaten as a wife, a druggy and living in the streets as a homeless woman with her babies. It used to be the love she had for her children that caused her to go through a metamorphosis in life. The change used to be so drastic, that not even her own circle of relatives recognized her. Mirian Detres’s memoirs not only takes you into a world of poverty, abuse, and neglect but it plunges the reader into a dark rabbit hole of struggles with drugs and crime only to come out at the other side as an educational scholar with two masters, doctorate of philosophy, spokes person for battered women, and a successful mother of five children. This can be a true story of a woman without any role models became one herself.
