Nine children, two fathers, three children, two moms, equal...

A tale of lives from a small country road to paved city streets of the nation’s most powerful city. Through difficult struggles surrounding lives of certain undervalued people, who travel in a crumbling circle of uncertainty, broken promises, hunger, and despair. Fresh minds spring with character, pride, joy and conviction that rough times don’t last forever. Damaged dreams with a strong heart, sense-full mind, endure in the eyes, minds and souls, to gather ample crumbs of a normal life.

Julie knew it was not going to be easy for her young children, so she was in no rush to make decisions that might bring harm to the last loves she had in life. All she had close to her were her three young children, having lost her husband and all of their belongings, she wanted to hold on for as long as she could, realizing that there was some truth in Aunt Laura's words that might be too hard to bear. There were much more to those words that were being held back, she had heard before, " those children should be raised by their father especially those boys," -- she wanted to keep her family as one.
