Heir to Hunger: My Family’s Betrayal

Survival is a cruel teacher—and family is its sharpest lesson. When her father kills her mother, a desperate young girl flees into the storm-lit streets of Chicago, clutching only her mother’s dying wish: find Uncle John Redford, the city’s war hero. But when blood proves colder than steel, hunger and humiliation drive her to the edge of darkness—where even a scrap of bread comes at a price. In a world where cruelty wears a polished face and love is a weapon, she must bargain for her next meal and face the ghosts of a shattered home. Can she claw her way back to hope—or will the sins of her family bury her for good?
