“They tied my tubes when I was thirteen.”
Those eight words haunt me still, even though I heard them over forty years ago. This book is a true story set in one of the darkest periods in American history... the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and the Eugenic movement. A shocking exposé of how an innocent child’s life was shattered by a series of unfortunate events and the unimaginable consequences that resulted. It is the story of how a perfectly normal child was abandoned by her parents, mistakenly placed in The School for the Feeble Minded, sterilized at the age of thirteen, received no education and remained institutionalized for the next fifty years of her life.
