The Hills I Climbed

Shela, by age fourteen, had lost her loving father. Her mother, who couldn't cope with losing her husband, died of a drug overdose. Finding herself on the streets, homeless, scared, and confused, she turned to drinking and drugs. To eat, and feed her habit, she turned to crime. She gave birth before age eighteen. Feeling she could no longer cope, she tried to end it all. But, Karl Ward, a young man that helped the poor, met her by chance, and showed her there was a way out.
