Punching Bag

by Rex Ogle

A lot of people non-chalantly throw out phrases like “I hate my parents!” or “my parents are the worst!”. But no one really understands what it’s like to live under constant abuse from a parent while also living in poverty. Only those that have suffered a lot of childhood trauma do and one of those people is Rex Ogle. Follow his story in this harrowing biography.

This book is available in the library and on OverDrive/Libby as an ebook.
