Product Description

Product Description

Mother traded a baby for a house, but cared little for either.

Mother's House Payment is the story of a little girl who was passed from one abuser to another until, after coping with isolation, neglect, and an encounters with physical, sexual, and psychological violation, she snapped at the age of 13. She learns that her mother has passed on a genetic illness as a parting shot, and she must adjust to growing up with Bipolar Disorder.

As she approaches her 30th year, she works hard to pick up the loose threads of her life and tie them into a lifeline for her future. It is a tale of survival, endurance, and acceptance through understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, shocking, painful and moving all at once! Feb 21 2012
By Jason Luke McCracken - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm not usually the kind of person that sits down and reads a book in one sitting, but I seriously couldn't put this one down. I started the day off in a dreadful, depressive mood and Ronnie Schiller saved me from that. I can't remember the last time I read a book that made me sad, then angry, then happy in such rapid succession and so many times.

I would definitely recommend this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Moving Feb 1 2012
By Angelique Bone - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Intense and heartbreaking, this memoir shares a story that will leave you reeling. The matter-of-fact descriptions and memories of abuse, the rationalization that only a child can manufacture, the despair... then the healing... You will cry, that is for sure. I couldn't let the night end without finishing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I was so very moved by this memoir. Jan 30 2012
By Amy Jo O'Boyle - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I cried over this-sad tears, angry tears, and happy tears at the end. How a little girl could live through such a horror show and still be with us is a miracle. That she has risen above that hell to share her story with others is a blessing. Ronnie gives a detailed account of her life with an ever changing backdrop of step parents siblings, bi-polar disorder, depression, the trifecta of abuses, and her struggle to rise above it all and survive. The story is raw and personal-and you can't help but keep reading so that you can know that she makes it through. This book moved me so deeply and will stay with me for a long time.
