Summary of Misty Griffin's Tears of the Silenced

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was born in Phoenix, Arizona, to a rather unusual couple. My mother was the seventeen-year-old girlfriend of her former stepfather, who was only twenty-eight-years-old himself. I was not their first child, and I was the brand new sister to a two-year-old boy. #2 I was four years old when I was attacked by a dog. The next day, I was in a hospital room with my mother, who was standing over me. I had a long scar running from my left temple to my mid-cheek, another under my right eye, and several stitches on the back of my head where the dog’s upper eye-teeth had sunk in. I was never the same. #3 I was taken to a new home by a man named Brian, who told me that my mother had said I was very intelligent. I was placed in the middle of the back seat of his jeep, and we drove north into the Bradshaw Mountains of northern Arizona. We arrived at a tiny trailer, where I saw a tiny thirteen-foot trailer next to a tall mine shaft. #4 I was with my mother and sister when I was switched to a new family, who were not as nice as the first. They were strict, and I was not allowed to talk to or play with other children. I was also punished for every little thing, and my mother would either participate in the punishment or just watch.
