I Never Met My Mother: A true story dedicated to each and every child who was deprived of love, who was abused or simply ignored by their par

This is a true story dedicated to each and every child who was deprived of love, who was abused or simply ignored by their parents - and what one can do in spite of it.Janna Sosensky's life-long search for a reason WHY she survived after her mother's death when she was three months old has been the main driving force behind most of the major decisions and changes she has made at every step of her life's journey.Born in the former USSR in 1941, Janna was raised in an orphanage but was eventually released to her motherless family at the age of six years.As a young teenager, she ran for her life, away from her abusive father, toward her life of freedom. In Moscow at a very young age, Janna worked by day, while completing high school and attending university by night, to make something of herself. She graduated from journalism school in a country where freedom of speech didn't exist.Her story deals with life in Russia during the Soviet Regime between the years 1941 and 1974. This particular period of time in Russia has never been documented as fully by any woman as an account of life in an orphanage, home life, schools and work. It deals with such crucial subjects as child abuse, homosexuality, abortion, the workplace and other important issues. This story is highly readable and moves along beautifully with its tremendous variety of interesting characters and deals with a huge cross section of human behavior about cruelty, punishment and suppression. It is a compelling real life story.Janna emigrated from the Soviet Union with her son and his father in 1974.Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to a children's charity.
