Children Born of Wildfire
by Angela Hoy
When no one came to save them, they saved each other.
ABOUT THE BOOK
In this deeply personal memoir, Angela Hoy recounts how she and her younger sister were abducted from their home with their devoted father and cast into another world, living at times with their eccentric and cunning maternal grandparents, or their unstable mother and her predatory boyfriends.
Outside their home, the sisters appeared to be well-dressed and cared-for, along with their apparently gregarious, stylish, and funny mother and her friendly boyfriend. But inside the home, they endured manipulation, shaming, ongoing abuse, and assault. Frequently uprooted, the two girls had only each other; they knew no one was coming to save them.
How the young girls survived—and eventually thrived—is a remarkable story of resilience. Equally remarkable was their quest to find their father years later, despite being told he had died. Their unflagging hope and strength will be an inspiration to others who are working to overcome the aftermath of terrible childhoods.
Heartfelt, gritty, and often funny, Children Born of Wildfire is ultimately about the redemptive power of forgiveness.
