Growing up, Netta became increasingly aware that her foster mother disliked her. Though never starved, Netta suffered neglect, as well as mental, physical and sexual abuse. Stolen Lives is the record of Netta's journey from a neglected and abused state ward, to a woman who discovers her heritage and creates a positive life regardless of her upbringing.
