Publisher Description:
When all else fails, family is forever - or so we're told. But what happens when being near them is more detrimental than not? Sometimes loving family from a distance is the most productive option, as was the case with Tamika. The Department of Protective and Regulatory Services was all too familiar with the goings-on of the Curry clan. They had been involved with the family for years, never having enough "substantial" evidence to move forward with official court proceedings. Finally, when she was 13 years old, Tamika Curry was sexually abused by her 17 year old brother, resulting in the permanent removal of her and her sister, Emily, from their mother's house. Told from the perspective of the author, in "...and then there was TAMIKA" you learn about the family's incestuous dynamics, along with who Tamika really is versus what she'd like you to believe. Containing direct quotes and excerpts from actual Child Protective Services' case files, this book offers an insightful look into the inner-workings of "the system," and how "saving" families isn't always possible - especially when it's the Currys.
