Patricia Miller Mauro’s parents divorced when she was very young, and she was forced to go hungry when food stamps ran out.

Patti was glad to leave home for college, but she worried about her sister and about how to pay for college.

SAFE FROM THE PAST is a remarkable story of courage and pluck. Patti had the courage to take her life by the horns and to do what it takes to survive. I don’t know of many in her situations that would do what she did.
