Dead End Gene Pool: A Memoir by Wendy Burden
Nonfiction
Wendy Burden grew up with a life of wealth, fancy homes, and almost anything she ever wanted. The only thing she didn’t have that she craved was the attention of her mother and grandparents. Her father died when she was just young, leaving her mother to raise Wendy, her older brother Will, and younger brother Edward, by herself. Her mother was battling depression and did not take life as a single parent well. As a result, Wendy and her brothers were left with her grandparents frequently. Join Wendy as she tells her story of growing up in a family where only the males were valued and how she survived in this world.
