Tracies Story: Book ReviewTracies Story, By Marguerite Ashton, Had Sucked Me Into The Story Right From The Start, And I Had Difficulty Tearing Myself Away From The Book All The Way To The End. This Is Very A Moving Tale That Is Based On A True Story Of A Woman Brought Up By An Alcoholic Single Mother. As A Child, Tracie Bravely Accepts The Barrage Of Difficulties, Disrespect And Responsibilities Of Handling A Helplessly Drunken Parent But It Leaves Her Emotionally Scarred. While Driving Under The Influence, The Thoughtless Mother Inflicts A Permanent And Visible Disability On Her Child That Serves As A Constant Reminder Of Her Past. Every Mirror, Every Pair Of Eyes Reflects Her Abnormality And This Becomes A Torment For Tracie. As An Adult, She Struggles With Her Inner Demons And The Mind-numbing Addictions To Both Alcohol And Her Work.Marguerite Ashton Uses A Direct And Simple Writing Style That Envelops The Reader In Tracies World So Deeply That The Real World Fades Away For A Little While. The Ending Left Me With A Feeling That The Book Is Not Finished. Yet, Because I Was Thinking About It For Days, I Would Have To Say The Ending Was Quite Effective.ISBN: 1-4137-7386-9Author: Marguerite AshtonPublisher: Publish America
