I started working on my story "Raggedy Ann Man" about a young girl who leaves home at 17 because she is tired of her mother bringing home men and sleeping with them and her mother's alcoholism. She meets a young man just home from the Vietnam war who is engaged to a pretentious daddy's girl whose has his life all planned out for him. Well things don't work out the way the blonde wishes. The young guy gets the homeless girl a job working in his mother's motel in seaside, Oregon for the summer. His fiancee is jealous the minute she lays her eyes on the girl and calls her a white trash. And makes the mistake of putting the make on her boyfriend a month before they are to marry in the Oakland temple.
This is a love story about how broken hearted people fall in love and that money and success don't necessarily buy you happiness.

Or when you are married and your husband constantly puts you down and calls you an educated idiot, that you can't do anything right causes emotional issues. I know this is why I've gained my weight. But again I'm on ano
