Growing up in Los Angeles in the idyllic 1960s, Jody's home life was far from the wholesome ideal portrayed in the hit TV shows of the time. For a while, she enjoyed the trappings of the American ideal, a nice home and intact family. But it wasn't long before addiction, alcoholism, and desperation led to a downward spiral of multiple fathers, multiple moves, and an isolating, sporadic school life. When she graduated from high school, Jody moved in with her mother and her mother's boyfriend, a slick wheeler dealer who had bought a partial interest in a slaughterhouse in Northern California, a world away. Jody married her first husband when she was nineteen. Together, they had three beautiful children, but over time, the relationship frayed. When Jody took a job waitressing, she met a prominent, married man with whom she fell madly in love. They came together briefly; then circumstances separated them for five-and-a-half painful years. Fate, however, had other plans. An inspiring tale of survival and spirit, a passionate love story, and a fascinating chronicle of a vital period in American history, This I Know For Sure offers heartfelt and poignant lessons for everyone making their way through life's challenges.
