Where is My Mother? - Paperback

by Lorene Stark (Author), Cheryl Stritzel McCarthy (Joint Author)

Where Is My Mother? is the inspiring, true story of a motherless child who found the strength to speak truth to a dangerous world surrounding her.

Lorene Oyler was in middle school when she testified in court against her predatory father, and greatly changed the course of her life for the better. Her memoir offers hope to anyone, child or adult, who wants to tap their own unknown strength.

Lorene used her wits to escape peril, and decades later, used those same wits to find a mother she thought was lost forever-just not the mother she'd imagined. This remarkable memoir is full of surprises and flashes of good-natured humor, such as when Lorene's mother shows up to meet friends and family wearing a mink coat from Goodwill bedecked with pin-back buttons, or stops on the street to engage in conversation with a plastic bear on a car-wash sign.

By turns funny, poignant, and powerful, this is a memoir like no other. As Lorene says, "Come with me as I tell my story. Buckle up-it's a doozy!"
