Hello my name is Amber. Im a 30 year old mother of 3. We stay in a 2 bedroom apt. On the bad side of town. Im a waitress at a Joe's crabshack. Barely getting by. Why am I saying this, becouse if you're looking for a book about the grand life this is not it. This is my story and the story of so many like me. I cant promise a happy ending couse my story isn't over but here it is so far..........
Ok so where do I start. I got pregnant at 16 I was dating an older man who already had 3 kids of his own. He treated me like I was a gift from above. To be honest i had low confidence and like the attention. It was surreal I wasn't used to people telling how pretty, I was or how much they loved me or how I was important. Neways after I got pregnant he kinda just disappeared. That hurt like hell ima tell the truth. I would of never expected that a man that loved and cherished his other children would just bail, but that is exactly what happened. 9 months later Zyion was born without his father even knowing his name. I continued going to school and was doing fairly well when I meet Travis. Travis was well he was every women's dream and ever mans nightmare. He was smart, muscular, funny, thoughtful. We dated for a while and once agian I found myself pregnant. I would love to tell u how Travis was your typical male and left. But he doesn't deserve that. He stayed an did all those things he was supposed to do in the end we where just young, and made lot of mistakes. But Travis will forever hold a place in my heart. Well naviah was born and now I was alone with two kids. So I did what I had to do i dropped out got a job and went to work.
