Little Copperhead : A Memoir

by Kathy Keiffer

In the 1950s, a copper-haired little girl was growing up in the hills of southern Indiana.

She spent her days playing in the woods and making mud pies with her little brothers. But when her family began to crumble apart, she and her five brothers were separated from their parents and each other. At the age of ten, she became a foster child. Then at the age of twelve, she was adopted and uprooted to live in northern Indiana, where she struggled to adapt to her strange surroundings and new parents.

This memoir chronicles the journey of Little Copperhead—her earliest memories, her joys, tears, and adventures—and the difficult teen years intensified with being adopted at an older age.

[Lizzann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reading this memoir has reinforced a valuable life lesson. We each have a untold number of stories and experiences that, once woven together, make us who we are today. Rarely will you get a glimpse into the depth of the person sitting next to you. Usually we are only aware of what is on the surface - the here and now. This is especially true when we meet as more "mature" adults. Treasure those in your daily encounters.

I am the author of this book, so I'm a little partial to it! Hope you like it as well.
