Prologue

Three babies born to parents who were not equipped to care for them, born into a world of neglect, abuse, starvation, and abandonment, struggling in their own little ways to survive, not fully understanding their hostile surroundings. These three, two girls and a boy, are exposed to horrific perils that no child should have to go through, but they survived. They came into this world given life by two drug-addicted parents who cared more for their next high than food for hungry little ones.

The grandparents on the father’s side were elderly and of ill health. The grandmother on the mother’s side watched in horror as the legal system declared that motherhood is sacred, and no amount of complaining to the authorities would change anything. She was treated as a meddler and a troublemaker and told to leave this little family alone.

Thanks for the Splashes takes you into a world that really does exist but that you’d probably not like to know about.
