Description

Agnes Nigiyok is telling about her biological parents, her elderly father and the severe abuse that her much younger biological mother endured from other men. She talked about first being adopted by her aunt, then being taken away by a bullyish couple who took her away from her relatives, away from her homeland. She adds, that is when she would go from home to home and lived in fear of the couple, who had wanted her for a daughter in law but was treated very badly by them.
