A little girl called Squeaks : a story of hope : biography of Laura Gilbert
(Adult Book)

"Drugs. Booze. Violence. Abuse. Neglect. This is no recipe for childhood, unless your name happens to be Laura Gilbert. From living in the slums of Vancouver's downtown east side with her drug-addicted mother, to the easy drug-culture of Penticton, to the revolving door of the Foster Care system, "a little girl called Squeaks," is the true story of one little girl who suffered all the worst kinds of mistreatment, and the deep and lasting hurt this kind of upbringing leaves. That she even survived these horrors is a story in itself. But "a little girl called Squeaks," is also a story of a God who never let her go, who never forgot His child, who knew her and saved her time and again, even though she did not know Him, not even herself. And it is the powerful story of testimony, of the power that the kind words of someone who really understands what it is like can have on even the most dejected souls. "A little girl called Squeaks," is a must-read for anyone who has struggled with addiction, abuse, or feelings of worthlessness, or for anyone who want insight into the feelings and challenges of those who struggle so. And it is a reminder to all of us that life stories like this should never be for children"--Publisher.
