At A Time Like This In Scuppernong Valley

The story is appalling. It gives an account of a destitute teenager born in a meager place where only the strong survive.

She made one bad decision that insulted the villainous overseer. To escape his often abusive retaliation, she ran away and became a shadow-street child in a big city.

This is an incredible story about struggle, survival, and the darker sides of life that many teenagers will never see in a lifetime. The ups and downs experienced while wandering an unfamiliar city taught her many life lessons as she tried to find a safe place on park benches, in tunnels, abandoned buildings, and alleyways. She was sustained by her belief that her God-fearing grandmother's teaching would see her through.

Being empowered by such belief, she aligned herself with determination and became a great success story a force of stability and healing for other teenagers.
