Broken Halo - Hardcover

Smith, Sylvia Dickey: - My name is Sylvia Ruth Dickey (Smith), and I came into this world one leg first. I often wonder what impact it had on my mother. How did that experience change her? Or did it? Did it change me? For years, up until I gave birth to my first child at 23, I went to bed every night and cried. I had no idea why I cried; I just felt like crying. Then, many years later, I learned of the Lost Twin Syndrome and remembered my mother saying she thought she'd lost me twice while carrying me. I've often wondered if it was my twin she lost, and that's why I cried, missing something and not knowing what until my firstborn arrived, and his arrival took away my need to cry at night.Smith, Sylvia Dickey Ruth: - Sylvia Dickey Smith started writing her very first book at 60 years of age. That book is DANCE ON HIS GRAVE, and has won numerous awards. The story is based on the real-life events of a brave young woman who lived through the horror.

Now, at 85, she is the proud owner of her very first house and is happy to be back in her hometown.
