Synopsis

Where Is My Mother? is the inspiring, true story of a motherless child who found the strength to speak truth to a dangerous world surrounding her. Lorene Oyler was in middle school when she testified in court against her predatory father, and greatly changed the course of her life for the better. Her memoir offers hope to anyone, child or adult, who wants to tap their own unknown strength. Where Is My Mother? tells of a girl who used her wits to escape peril, and decades later, used those same wits to find a mother she thought was lost forever-just not the mother she'd imagined. This remarkable memoir is full of surprises and flashes of good-natured humor, such as when Lorene's mother shows up to meet friends and family wearing a mink coat from Goodwill bedecked with pin-back buttons, or stops on the street to engage in conversation with a plastic bear on a car-wash sign. By turns funny, poignant, and powerful, this is a story like no other. As Lorene says, "Come with me as I tell my story. Buckle up-it's a doozy!"

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Lori Stark's long and varied career has always involved service. Besides being mother to six, over the years she's owned a day care in Redmond, Washington; worked customer service for a Seattle bank; acted as caretaker for her mother-in-law with Alz-heimer's as well as her own mother with autism; assisted custom-ers in a dress shop in Everett; and volunteered with the Assis-tance League in Everett, where she headed the cancer fundraiser. Finding that service to the very old and very young was where her heart lay, she enjoyed driving a school bus in Mukilteo for thirteen years. Central to Lori's life, work, and strength since childhood is her unwavering belief in God.
