In A Good Little Girl, Kenzie OHara shares the powerful lessons she learned from growing up with distant, unloving parents who finally divorce. She becomes an introverted, obliging person who doubts her own worth, always seeking to please others, and ends up a target for a violent, explosive husband who abuses her for two decades. While A Good Little Girl is the story of Kenzies personal journey, many women will relate to her situation. Abandonment, anorexia, physical, sexual,mental, and emotional abuse, bad decisions, you name it: this woman has experienced it all. Feeling defeated, deflated, frightened, and alone became her normal. Yet the good little girl possesses strengths that manage to carry her through all kinds of adversity. Kenzies story originated as an autobiographical piece for her children, written in hopes that it would provide them with a history and a better understanding of the person she was in her youth, and the person she became. After it was written, she realized that others could benefit from reading about how an abandoned little girl and abused woman managed to wrangle herself from the depths of overwhelming torments and odds.
