About 480 Codorus Street Book 1

In the 1940's, 1950's and the 1960's men ruled their homes in a much different way than they do today. Domestic violence and marital issues arose often.  The police stayed clear of a man's home.   If they were called to a home, not very much happened to the perpetrator. Because they believed "A man's Home Was his castle" and he owned everyone and everything In it.  Sandra grew up along with her six siblings witnessing the devastation of the domestic violence in their home. Sandra vowed to never fall victim to the abuse she witnessed as a child. Sandra broke that vow as she fell victim and experienced the same things she witnessed as a child on Codorus Street.

In this book, Sandra shares her hidden scars with the reader.  She looks back and reflects upon her life, and the assumptions she made about her life and her family. How does one draw the line between punishment and abuse, forgiveness and mercy, justice and fairness? Sandra's struggle to forgive her father is overwhelming to the point that when she hears his name, her anger comes to the forefront of her deepest mental and psychological memories, which forces her to relive the past abuse that happened at 480 Codorus Street in York, Pennsylvania in those days past.
