Описание: Mommy? No is a true account of a mans journey to connect to his biological mother. Adopted at six-weeks-old, Tony pulls his audience into the emotional, physical, and psychological abuse he suffered at the hands of his adoptive mother. Tony, a biracial child of Filipino and Caucasian heritage, weaves a revealing saga of a life less lived until he locates his birth mother through the social services mayhem. Every jaw-dropping page reveals the horrific suffering he endured. We, as readers, see Tony in the beginning in all the innocence of a child. We see childhood lost through his eyes when his adoptive parents reveal to him at five-years-old that he was not their biological child. Like a skydiver spinning out of control, we are vacuumed emotionally and psychologically into his turbulent world as he tries desperately to survive at the often merciless hands of his adopted mother. We, as his audience, suffer along with him. Warning: You may feel a need to put this book down, rest awhile, and then resume your reading. It is a powerful, compelling story, but requires a firm commitment by the reader to stay with it until the very end; for it is at times emotionally draining. That said; you will keep coming back until you know the whole story. Few books, based on true accounts, take you on the emotional ride as this book. From start to finish, you, like Tony want to believe it is all a bad dream from which you will eventually awaken. From the get-go, you will connect with Tonys life-story. It is riveting, the content often transforming between now-and-then, past-and-present, as his memories flood in-and-out, then surface again for the telling. Few survivors muster the courage to share the mental anguish they experienced in the midst of an abusive rollercoaster. We are there with Tony as he seemingly rips pages from the stories of his life. It is then; we see clearly the events played out in real-time. As he tells his story we join in his journey to survive, triumph over all diversity, and steadfastly cling to hope. Eventually, when Tony finds his bio-mother and siblings, his other family, we are witness to a fantastic transformation as he enters a world completely different than the hellhole hes known. It is then, we see him wrapping his mind around the horrible yesterdays hes known at the hands of his adoptive mother, and we watch and listen as he takes us on another emotional journey of hope, renewal, love, and acceptance. Tony is the keeper of his past history, knowing full well, that it continues as he embraces his new family. All the while trying to make sense of the senseless, often life-threatening abuse he suffered at the hands of his adoptive mother. Tony has a story to tell. It is a real story of deep, heartfelt pain, suffering, and the story of a child clinging to the outstretched arms of hope. He seemingly says to us, I see all I survey, but who would know me and not know my name? Always, Tony knows he doesnt fit into the life-hand he was dealt. His search for answers leads him back to the beginning, back to his biological mother, and back into the gift of a mothers unconditional love. This book will grip your heartstrings from beginning to end.
