A heart-wrenching and yet heartwarming story which takes place in American Sāmoa in 1959, where a Scottish-Sāmoan girl is born out of wedlock. She becomes the scapegoat for her parents’ sin, which sets off years of mental and physical abuse upon her. The abuse extends into her adult life and through four failed marriages. After 60 years of anguish, Heather is one of the few women and children abused everyday who has survived to share her story. Heather’s hope is that her story will help many like her around the world. Ironically, this book was published in April 2023, National Child Abuse Prevention Month. This story has many cultural, linguistic and psychological layers.
