Summary

One night after her abusive stepfather got drunk and passed out, 11-year-old Mary Elizabeth Bailey’s mother put a gun in her hand and ordered her to kill him. Later, Mary’s mother told authorities that the child had acted on her own – but the truth came out and her mother went to prison. Mary is now a nurse and business owner who advocates for children who are lost in the system, and shares her shocking life story in her memoir "My Mother's Soldier" available at Amazon.com.
