A memoir of an only child from a broken family, Nobody's Child tells the story of a young girl born in a small town in Missouri to a single mother with no desire to raise a child alone. Subject to mental and physical abuse at the hands of her mother, Beverly's life was threatened and she was sent away to be raised by her father and his new girlfriend. Beverly was left with no voice, a mother who threw her away, and a father who didn't want her. When Beverly's father met a woman at a local bar, an interracial couple was formed that tested Beverly, her father, and the new woman. As Beverly's father and his girlfriend came under the influence of a church organization with all the characteristics of a cult, they were pressured by the pastor to marry and continue to raise Beverly. As Beverly's father began to help this pastor build his own division of "Spiritual Union Church Of Christ (SUCC)," Beverly became subject to sexual abuse that was ignored and renounced by her father... at the hands of the pastor. Throughout her entire childhood, God and the Church were used as tools of oppression to take total control of her father's assets, and his life, but moreover, to sexually abuse and break young Beverly. The story of a woman escaped from a grassroots Bible cult, Nobody's Child follows the life of Beverly James from sexually abused, unwanted child, to escaped, confident single mother in search and pursuit of her life's goals.
