How I Sold My Mother Home

Summary

My mother, Adriana, was breathtakingly beautiful, but everyone in the forgotten town of Hickory Creek hated her.

Every night, a different man slipped into her bed, and every morning, he would shuffle out looking perfectly satisfied.

They called her a tramp, a slut, saying only a simpleton like my father, Roy Tucker, would keep her. Dad would even buy her pretty dresses and cheap jewelry, dressing her up like a princess for the viewing. But I knew the truth. Every time, those men would hand Dad a wad of bills and tell him she was worth the price.
