Publisher's Synopsis
Jerzy Palmer, having been born into generational poverty, was a child growing up in an inner city project in the 1950's and 1960's. Jerzy was determined to break the cycle and be the first in her family not only to graduate from high school but to go even further. In order to do this, she had step over the boundaries set by society. If she could not step over those obstacles, she found a way to go around them. Her story is filled with humor, joy, and pain as she takes her journey one step at a time into a better life in spite of her innocence and naïveté. The author of this book captures the period of this time and takes the reader on this journey with Jerzy, into another era far removed from today's world and helps her find her true destiny.
