Ma, I'm Gettin Meself a New Mammy

Aged 13, Martha Long is rescued by the courts from the clutches of her evil stepfather and her feckless mother. After numerous arrests for shoplifting, a judge rules that she is to be sent to a convent school. Her initial relief at escaping the abuse and neglect she suffered at home is, however, short-lived. This is her memoir.

In varsta de 13 ani, Martha Long este salvata de tribunal din ghearele tatalui ei vitreg rau si a mamei ei fara nadejde. Dupa numeroase arestari pentru furt, un judecator hotaraste ca va fi trimisa la o scoala de manastire.
