Bullets: Growing Up In The Crossfire - E-book - ePub

Kathleen was brought into this world by a bullet. Her young father's idea of entertainment was to shoot homemade soap bullets at his then seven months pregnant wife. When a bullet pierced her toe, the shock introduced an unsuspecting child into a life filled with fear, adversity, and reckless encounters. Bullets chronicles the cycle of horrific events Kathleen endured throughout her young life. Hibbard's satirical tone offers an escape amid the chaos of smashed Christmas trees, flying bullets, and the darkness of a violent, abusive childhood barren of comfort.
She seeks to shelter readers from the pain in the same way she protected her own spirit, finding the bizarre humor within the tragedy. The result is a story of unexpected triumph. Hibbard's sharply written memoir inspires us to rise above and escape the crossfire.
