About this listen
A chilling true story of a ten-year-old girl struggling to survive in a dysfunctional family in Russia.
The sweet-natured Laura Meer dreams of a superhero and spends days trying to provide for herself while being half-neglected by her parents, who couldn’t take good care even of themselves. Her father constantly tries to kill her mother, and the police refuse to help.
Developing faith in God is Laura’s only strength. But will she be able to protect her mother?
Hauntingly beautiful, This Childhood of Mine is more than a tale of survival, resilience, and unconditional love—it’s a testament to the human spirit’s capacity to heal. The memoir will resonate with anyone who has experienced adversity, reminding listeners that even in the darkest of times, there’s hope.
