Life of Abuse to Success: A Child’s Story isn’t just a memoir; it’s a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Walter Lawrence takes us on a journey through his childhood, marked by adversity and emotional challenges, yet filled with moments of resilience. It’s a reminder that even when life throws its toughest punches, we have the power to rise above and create our own success story. The book’s core lesson is about finding your inner strength and refusing to be defined by your past.
Lawrence’s narrative is a powerful exploration of how childhood experiences, both good and bad, shape us. It teaches us that while we can’t always control what happens to us, we can control how we respond and the future we build. It’s about breaking the cycle and choosing a path of resilience and self-discovery.
“In the 1950s when the abuse began, I promised myself that I would live my life and never lie or blame anyone for my mistakes. In 2008 my wife and I went up to New York and visited my mother who was in a nursing home. During our conversation she said, “How nice you turned out”. She was totally blinded about who I really was. She passed on 12/25/2010 at ninety-one years old.”
