Fighter (Part 1)

At 8 years old, she felt her first punch to the face by the hands of her stepfather. At 10, she felt the needle pierce through her skin as her mother injected her with crank. At 11, she met her newborn brother as her mother tossed him carelessly on the stain infested bed in her room. At 12, she stole for the first time; formulas, diapers, food- anything to care for her brother and new baby sister. At 13, she was beaten unconscious trying to protect her brother from the pain of his father's fists. After she woke up with her pants settled across the room, her stained underwear ripped laying beside her. At 14, she lost her unborn baby due to her mother's beatings. And it was at 15 when she taught herself how to fight to survive. Her name is Alaska Mae Willis and this is her story.
