Memoirs of an unpredictable child, growing up in the innocent, reminiscent 1940's and 1950's, follows heart-scarred Katie. Leaping into marriage, her alcoholic husband leaves a naive wife and three preteen children, struggling day to day, seeking a fresh start. Finally, she gives her heart to a childhood playmate, who is reluctant to commit again. A true story of love, determination and resilience. Mom was hanging laundry out to dry, Dad was repairing the hole in the screen door and Katie was starching her crinolines for the sock hop. Follow Katie as she grows up in the 1940's roller skating on the sidewalk and in the 1950's reminisce in the Rock N' Roll era, before segregation and equal opportunity. Live day to day experiences, then battle the effects of living with an alcoholic. Escape to find her true love, finding it difficult to commit again."
