Linda & Sam; photos from: 1997-2000
I am twenty-five years old and have a five and half year
old daughter. I was born in New York City. My childhood was pretty miserable.
I went from foster home to foster home... I prefer not to talk about it.
I moved in with my father when I was eleven years old. I lived with him
until my nineteenth birthday when I gave birth to Sammy. Sam's father left
us when she was two months. At first he denied that she was his child. He's
successful at being non-existent.
