Chapter 1 of my book

Chapter 1 Norman Oklahoma & Austin, Texas late 80’s early 90’s I was born in Norman, Oklahoma, as my biological father Steve was enrolled in college at the university of Oklahoma. My mother being an immigrant newly arrived in the United States did any odd jobs that would take her. Shortly after I was born my mother was unable to make enough money to support a family along with steves insatiable cocaine and alcohol habits. So the little family of three was forced to move to the capital of Texas, the big city of Austin. Steve’s mother Betty resided in Austin and had once again allowed her son to come home. Only this time he had a family in tow. Things went as well as could be expected until my grandmother started treating my mom like she was the house maid. My mom feeling like a guest in Betty’s home did as much as she could. After roughly a year she began to seek outside employment and after a few hurdles she was able to find work at El Buen Pastor child care center. It was close to the home and they spoke Spanish making things for her much easier and as I got a little older she was able to bring me along also. Things were going well for the family of three, Steve had cleaned up his drug and alcohol habit for the time being and we were able to get our own apartment. Our apartment was on a rough side of town but like my mom always reminded me, it was ours. She had to find a new job because we had moved so far away that making it to el buen pastor on public transportation was to difficult and time consuming. Easily enough she found work at Bill Miller BBQ which was absolutely fine with me! She got to bring home the left over pie and sometimes some brisket! Mom always knew which pies to bring home lol! Pecan pie was and still is my favorite pie to this day. She worked long hours and he feet would swell, she always knew that I would rub them for her at the end of her shift for some pecan pie. Steve had decided that he wanted to be real estate salesman. He decided this after meeting a man named Ken Gully who I always that was a good guy. Ken didn't think much of Steve but decided to help him since he had a family to support. Shorty after starting his career in real estate Steve followed Ken out to the small west Texas town of Sanderson population 400 on a good day.
