[EAN: 9781615397730], Neubuch, [PU: J.R. McCarty, Inc.], Paperback. A stunning account of a kidnapped West Virginia girl and her mother's 17-year search to find her. Maysel is a spirited five-year old girl who, in the 1920's, is stolen by her father, then forced to support him in the moonshine business. Reluctantly believing her father when he tells her that her mother was taken by Jesus, Maysel still stands up for herself when he tries to change her name to Mary. Read about Maysel's unusual introduction to womanhood, the development of a love that will last a lifetime, and the impact of a teacher in this rural West Virginia hollow. Lela, a beautiful Christian woman, believes she has met the man of her dreams—Frank Adams. Little does she know that he is already married when they meet and fall in love. When another Mrs. Frank Adams comes to call, she is devastated, but holds true to her values and bars Frank from their happy marriage. Despite depression and difficult times, she never gives up the search for her daughter. Frank Adams, handsome, charming, and a good family provider in the tough economic times of the depression, is also a scheming, vindictive, and selfish man. His real name is John Brunty and he knows the only way he can continue to have a family is to steal his daughter and disappear, punishing Lela for pushing him away. My Name is Maysel is a compelling true story set in rural West Virginia. Keep a tissue handy as you are transported back in time in this heartfelt saga as told by the third son of Maysel.
