"A searing memoir that chronicles her coming of age as a sensitive, clairvoyant child in 1960-1970's New York City."
-- Christian Sia for Readers' Favorite

In 1960s NYC, whenever Nancy's proud Mother exclaimed, "This sleazy Times Square is my backyard!" Nancy thought, NYC stinks! For her, the bustling streets reeked of loneliness and fear, streets she'd been forced to navigate independently since age three.

At twelve, Nancy dreaded walking herself to the streetwalkers' corner on Forty-Ninth and Broadway to catch her early morning, crosstown city bus to school. She loathed passing XXX marquis, peepshow windows, and the street people still out in those predawn hours: scantily clad females selling their bodies, horny Johns, sicko pimps, ungodly heroin walkers, and the homeless. All proof that the Big Apple's rotten!

Other than school or time with her grandmother, Nancy found no salvation. Especially not at home, where she faced the dangerous, dark shadows twisting her mother's mind. Increasingly alone to face the "Monster in Mother," Nancy connected to her deepest inner self and embraced her all-knowing, omniscient Whispers, who warned of upcoming dangers and
offered wisdom.

With Nancy's perpetual challenge of just wanting to be a kid, Whispers was Nancy's enchanting antidote in finding hope, faith, and her unbreakable human spirit while surviving her hellish world.
